- busyant 1y agoThat's not really where most biotechs die. You don't move a drug into clinical trials unless you can replicate the initial studies, which is almost always "drug x cures y in animal z." They die when they try to determine if "drug x cures y in humans."
- jjani 1y ago"drug x cures y in humans - without causing z where bad_y - bad_z < ε".
- busyant 1y ago> where bad_y - bad_z < ε". LOL. That is often the hard part. "We cured your toe fungus. Sorry about the heart attack."
