The top biopharma trends of 2016, and looking ahead to 2017

It’s the time of year for editors to look ahead and attempt to predict, based on the patterns of the past 12 months, what the next trip around the sun will bring.


Top Stories

Trump: Wildcard POTUS causes unease, tentative optimism

Biotech enters every new year facing a wall of uncertainty. But with 2016’s wildcard Republican primary candidate becoming 2017’s POTUS, the list of outstanding questions confronting biotech this year is particularly long—and the implications of the answers could be significant.

As the dust settles on Cures, what will it mean for biopharma R&D?

At almost 1,000 pages, the 21st Century Cures Act is quite literally a weighty piece of legislation that will have far-reaching consequences for pharma in 2017 and beyond.

Brexit: Biotech awaits impact of slow shuffle to EU exit

It is now six months since Britain voted to leave the European Union. In that time, a new government has set up two new departments, set out a tweaked economic strategy and fielded a near-constant stream of questions about Brexit. And yet biotech, like all other industries and the British public, is no closer to knowing what life will look like post-Brexit than it was on June 24.

2017 shaping up to be pivotal year for CAR-T and CRISPR therapies

2017 is promising to be a landmark year for synthetic biology as two technologies—CRISPR/Cas9 and CAR-T—head toward critical milestones.

Biotech IPO market slowdown—will it continue into 2017?

This year will not go down as a classic for biotech IPOs; in fact, it’s been pretty dismal, with a report by Renaissance Capital out in the summer showing that almost all of the biotech IPOs that priced since the first quarter have broken issue, and were trading below their offer price.
