Drug companies face this probem all the time. They read about cutting-edge discoveries being made in academic labs, but when they try to reproduce the experiments, they can’t. Scientists at a German pharmaceutical company who tried to reproduce the results in 67 published studies told the readers of Nature that they only succeeded one quarter of the time. Likewise, the American company Amgen found they could only replicate the results for 6 out of 53 published cancer studies.
