Interview with Dr Donald Ingber - Topics: Organs on a Chip!, Medical Challenges, Moore's Law & Eroom's Law, FDA Funding, Tensegrity, The Wyss Institute: A Glimpse Into the Future.
Look at Eroom's law (spell Moore's law backwards) - "indicates the number of new drugs approved per billion US dollars spent on R&D has halved roughly every nine years since 1950. When you adjust for inflation that is a huge eighty-fold drop!" http://buildingpharmabrands.com/2013/...
The article mentions the 'Cautious Regulator' problem : the progressive lowering of risk tolerance that raises the bar on safety for new drugs, which makes R&D both costlier and harder.
"In the end organic as well as anorganic matter is made from the same building blocks. The only difference is how the atoms are arranged." - Donald Ingber
"I saw [tensegrity structures] for the first time when I was an undergraduate at Yale in a sculpture class that I just happened to take the same week that I learned to culture cells. And that, as they say, is the beginning of the rest of my life." - Donald Ingber
