Why the Decline in Pharma R&D?


For a few decades now there has been a narrative in the pharmaceutical sector that R&D productivity has been steadily declining: thanks to a lack of low-hanging fruit, blockbuster drugs have been harder and harder to find. AI promises a possible solution for this decline: but is the reduction in productivity a real challenge in the industry? Is AI the only means of solving it? To what extent will AI really boost the finding of drugs in a crowded market?
To clarify the area for professionals who need to know, Proventa International created a White Paper on AI in R&D, looking at the innovations and trends shaping 2020, expert opinion on AI’s impact on R&D, and whether AI can reverse the steady decline in pharma R&D output. Below is just a sample of the full White Paper: to read the larger report, click here.
