Is there a future for pharma in neuro?

The retreat of big biopharma from neuroscience R&D continued apace in 2019, with Amgen axing its neuroscience unit and Eli Lilly shuttering a U.K. facility. Those actions came in the wake of Pfizer’s 2018 decision to get out of neuroscience discovery and clinical development along with a much earlier wave of cuts involving companies including GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis.
