  • The use of new technology (genomics, proteomics, etc.) leads to additional questions and issues that have to be investigated
  • There are greater pressures to ensure drug safety
  • We’re now working on even more challenging diseases/conditions
  • Developing approaches/drugs for “personalized medicine” is more demanding
  • FDA issues are slowing down the process more than in the past
  • Most of the “easier” breakthroughs have already been accomplished
