Abstract
Pharmaceutical R&D productivity has declined over the last decade despite increasing investments. Recent trends, however, indicate a potential reversal of this trend fueled by a wave of new biologics, vaccines and highly selective NCEs directed against targets validated by human genetics, focus on new disease areas including orphan and genetic diseases and more precise tailoring of medicines to their target populations.Keywords
