This article, published in the July 2009 issue of PharmacoEconomics, discusses the evolving field of pharmacogenomics - which is the science of using genomic markers to predict drug response - and how it may impact the future costs, risks and returns to pharmaceutical research and development (R&D). Authors Joseph Cook and Graeme Hunter of NERA Economic Consulting and John A. Vernon of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill uncover a number of factors and issues that are likely to influence the expected returns and, hence, the incentive to invest in new pharmaceutical R&D in tandem with the development of pharmacgenomics.
