Big pharma shutdown in that case :) Coverup city, makes a good movie!!
Not so sure about that. Eli Lilly, Merck, and Bristol-Myers research labs that were closed 10 to 15 years ago have had the power turned on in their laboratories in New Jersey in the last couple of months. I don't see them making generics. Those are top 10 pharma companies. They will let the smaller labs and "for hire" bio-techs work the low profit/high volume market. The big money is in having a brand name drug before it can go generic. I worked IT for big pharma before they pulled out. Stupid good money.
My daughter worked for a "for hire" bio-tech for about 5 years. They had no products of their own but could produce many types of medicine from viatemines all the way to processed stem cell drugs that have high 5 figure cost per dosing. And they paid crap to the techs and lower management. She was actively recruited and is now at a top 100 pharma as a supervisor of manufacturing doing the stem cell cancer processes but it is in house technology. Stupid good money and they are increasing their production capacity in other areas.
