罗杰 斯泰因: 资助新药研究的一条大胆创新之路

资助新药研究的一条大胆创新之路

信不信由你，有大约20年储存量，能够救命的药物现在还躺在实验室里，未经试验。为什么？因为他们没办法得到赞助来进行试验，金融风险太大。罗杰斯泰因是一个学金融的，但是他想到了降低风险的办法。他和一些MIT的同僚研究出了一个很有前途的金融模型，并且这个方法能让几百种新药进入实验流水线。

Hundreds of potentially life-saving drugs are stalled in labs because the financial risk of testing them is too high. By viewing drug development as a portfolio of financial assets and pooling investments, a diversified fund could spread risk, attract new capital, and push more drugs into clinical trials. With over $100 trillion invested in fixed-income securities globally, the resources exist to fund this approach. Harnessing collective investment power could save millions of lives once lost to hesitant funding.
