How significant are each of the following in drawing out the drug discovery research process? (Ranked in order of most to least significant.)
- The science that’s now involved is usually more complex
- 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
