ArticleThe predictive validity crisis: Pharma’s productivity paradox – Part II
Part II shows that the predictive validity crisis can be solved by rethinking how the industry chooses models, measures outcomes and integrates systems. Success stories from Vertex, Regeneron and AstraZeneca illustrate how aligning biology, measurement and strategy can reverse decades of declining productivity.

NewsScientists develop 3D-printed dermis for faster burn recovery
Researchers have developed a 3D-printed ‘skin in a syringe’, using a patient’s own cells to create functional dermis that could change the way we treat severe burns.
-
NewsNew sticky material mimics gecko feet to fight tumours
Inspired by the gecko lizard’s grip, scientists at CU Boulder have developed a sticky, biodegradable material that clings to tumours and delivers chemotherapy drugs over several days.
-
NewsNew 3D bioprinted lung tissue could transform respiratory research
UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a new 3D bio-printed lung model that closely mimics the complexity of human tissue – providing scientists with a powerful new tool for studying respiratory diseases.
