Access through your institution Buy or subscribe As the biotech industry has hit profitability in recent years, with record market values and a steady drumbeat of regulatory approvals for
its products, compensation for its executives has in turn climbed steadily. Whereas the global financial downturn produced a road bump that sidetracked many companies—and wrecked
others—recent signs show a sector that has navigated its way back onto the highway and is picking up speed. The 2013 _BioWorld Executive Compensation Report_1 tracks the annual compensation
for biopharmaceutical executives at 258 companies (including 55 non-US companies) based on filings submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Here we focus on R&D officers,
which includes such positions as chief medical officer, chief scientific officer, chief development officer, research executives, R&D executives, development executives and clinical
development executives. Table 1 ranks the top 20 earners, all from US companies, who earned anywhere from $662,000 to $2.55 million in the 2011 fiscal year. We note that the scientists
ranked number 1, 6 and 14 have in the past published original research in _Nature Biotechnology_. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
