Asia Pacific Pharma Companies Turning to High-Risk, High-Reward Drug Development, According to New Report from Thomson Reuters
Date:11/2/2010

PHILADELPHIA and LONDON, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmaceutical companies in the Asia Pacific region are increasingly adapting their business models from the production of generic drugs towards more high-risk, high-return research and development, according to a new report released today by CMR International, a Thomson Reuters business.

"The benefits to Asia Pacific in moving towards increased clinical trials and more drug development are clear: attracting more investment to the local pharma industry, and earlier access to innovative medicines for the local population," Hans Poulsen said. "It is not clear however, if this trend will be seen a
