Not really. I&#x27;d guess a PI and 2 associates in each lab would run $325k. A single drug will touch about 8 or 10 labs in the 4 or so years to get out of pre-clinical development. Without any benefits, managers, equipment, lab space, or animals, you&#x27;re already eating $10 million.<p>Monkey tox studies are expensive and required before human trials. I&#x27;d guess that it&#x27;d take 50 capital equipment pieces averaging somewhere around $150k. The barrier to entry is pretty high.
