I wonder how much of that 42 billion is duplicating each other's work due to competitive/secrecy concerns.

That wouldn't be an issue with this initiative, and I think it's very significant that they're partnering with academia on this.



It still does not work out. I am working at a major cancer center with 2.*00 employees incl. 1200 scientists. We have a budget of ~250 million. So you could pay for this centre for 15 years with Zucks money. Hardly enough time to treat all diseases or even "just" cancer, and I can assure you, we are not slacking off.


because Pharma doesn't partner with academia??
