• For several years, the Indian pharmaceutical industry was in the "gray-to-black" area said Peter Boone, principal economist for SRI International. But the recent certification of drug-testing laboratories in India by the US Food and Drug Administration is bringing the products "up to FDA standards on manufacturing," he said.  With the combination of low cost, strong universities in scientific research, a powerful IT cluster based in Hyderabad, and FDA-conferred legitimacy, India has several of the pillars necessary to support genomics, said Boone.  “Certainly you should be watching them," he added.
