The inspiration for The Pink Army Collective is open source software successes like Apache and Linux that compete with billion-dollar software giants. We believe open source biotechnology can do the same with big pharma, and we’re creating a community of professionals to build our own drug development company.
We’re focusing on breast cancer to start, and because we’re structurally different than any other biotech or pharma, we can take novel approaches to making medicines. In fact, rather than use the conventional drug development “pipeline”, famous for being slow and expensive, we’re championing a new system that we believe will be able to produce safe, effective, and individually personalized medicines quickly and inexpensively today, and be faster and cost even less as further improvements are made.
