As products enter clinic... scientists shown the door

Article Abstract:

The oncology company OSI pharmaceuticals of Melville, NY cut 90 of its employees, mostly in research to save $10-15 million, when it completed the US submission of a new drug application for Tarceva, for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The biotech companies evolve into product development companies and as their lead programs enter human testing, they focus on their resources on the expensive clinical programs that will help them establish a profitable business.
