FEATURED EDITORIAL

Generative AI Can Write The Code, But Who Builds In The Quality?

Code democratization demands a return to the fundamentals of quality in pharmaceutical and regulated environments.

What If The U.S. Government Stopped Funding Biotech?

It sets off a real tension – ideological, economic, even personal. But what would happen if the U.S. government cut direct financial support for “biotechnology research,” leaving it entirely to investors, private and public markets, and bigger pharma? "Our industry’s mind-meld says with no government largesse our biotech industry collapses," writes Chief Editor Louis Garguilo. It's an "outlandish hypothetical," but he asks for a few minutes to go through this. And he has help in making his case.
