I've read that big pharma are primarily patent companies: most of the actual research is done by universities, then most of the production is outsourced.

- s1artibartfast 2y agoThat simply isnt true and is a political fiction. Pharma companies spend 10x what universities and the NIH do. The only grain of truth in it is if you compare a tiny subset of what pharma companies do, and look only are extremely early drug exploration, and ignore all of the subsequent development like drug screening, testing, formulation, and clinical trials.
