[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 848141, member: 102150"] Yes, that's why I was [B]not [/B]talking about Big Pharma (in the quote you replied to) but talking about DUK. :) Actually it's the other way around. There's no point non profits chasing after something commercial pharma is already having success with. And if they did there would be anti-competition arguments. Instead the non profits tend to blaze the theoretical trail and it's the commercial firms that move in on the action if it looks promising. Which is fine for the non-profits - that gives a multiplier effect to the value of their research. So it works reasonably when the non profits do the more unconventional stuff. If they turn up something that is exploitable, the commercial firms will allocate their resources. That's largely how DUK's research funding works - doing the riskier proof-of-principle stuff so that if it works, pharma will take notice and commercialise it. [/QUOTE]
