SSTI examines state R&D investment as a share of state GDP, 2009-2018

2/6/2021

0 Comments

 
Columbus, OH - According Colin Edwards, "Industry investment in research and development (R&D) indicates, literally, how invested each state’s businesses are in creating new products and processes. To better-understand industry’s commitment to innovation, business R&D can be viewed as a percentage of each state’s private sector gross domestic product (GDP), providing a measure of research intensity. This measure highlights substantial differences in the orientation of states’ businesses toward research, with some states seeing an investment rate of less than 1 percent while others are above 5 percent. The metric further reveals a broad trend that businesses in many states have stagnated their investments in R&D relative to the overall performance of the economy.

Columbus, OH - According to Kevin Michel, "A recent study exploring the science underlying all 356 pharmaceutical drugs approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research since 2010, found each drug is based on life science investments the public sector has made through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In addition, $230 billion, nearly 40 percent of the $586 billion the federal government has put into NIH over the past decade, can be tied to the development and success of those pharmaceuticals, contend the authors of Government as the First Investor in Biopharmaceutical Innovation: Evidence from New Drug Approvals 2010-2019.

Newark, NJ — Denarra Simmons knew she always wanted to live in Newark. "It's a good place," the senior scientist with Merck says of her home city, where she raises her family on the same block her mother grew up on. Education was a top priority in their household, where it was viewed as a crucial tool for "social mobility." But even in her family, there's a certain level of distrust when it comes to the coronavirus vaccine and the role of researchers such as herself – particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.

Should Universities Try to Capture More Value from Their Research?

2/6/2021

0 Comments

 
Philadelphia, PA - According to Knowledge@Wharton, "A pair of newly published research papers co-authored by Wharton management professor David H. Hsu benchmark and explore commercialization drivers of academic science. The papers find that university research has produced pathbreaking innovations across many disciplines, many of which have been commercialized successfully. Yet, on average, universities capture 16% of the value they help create through licensing revenues or equity stakes in the startups their research spawns. Furthermore, some researchers and universities are much better able to commercialize their discoveries compared to others, even holding constant the discovery itself."
