The Medicine Maker / Power List / 2016

The Power List 2016

The nominations are in and after considerable debate and analysis from our judging panel, we present The Power List 2016 – our second foray into the Top 100 most influential people in the world of drug development and manufacture.

Though we realize our list can (and should) never be definitive, who can argue that the faces within – both familiar and new – do not beautifully highlight the brilliance and diversity found within our field?
