Abstract

This Health Industry Insights Perspective highlights past researcher best practices and future expectations for the changing role of the individual researcher in the life science industry as companies and their researchers incrementally adapt to help move the industry forward.

Beyond the high-level view that the life science industry is undergoing transformational change, researchers are experiencing significant change as well. Research is becoming less of a possession of individual researchers and more a component in a broader collaborative group effort. Both technology and innovation are spearheading these changes, and it is not likely that we will move back toward traditional approaches any time soon. To survive for the long term, researchers and the companies that they work for will both need to recognize and reconcile the changing R&D ecosystem and determine their path moving forward.
