Drug companies largely use pathways discovered by academic research (which is much more trial and error) as targets for pharmaceuticals. “Steal” is a bit of a strong word, but they are okay with paying students and post-docs starvation wages. Essentially, it’s privatizing profits and publicizing losses.

Thanks for the explanation. I literally took it to mean something completely different so I’m glad you elaborated.
