Databases
The Tufts Center maintains unique databases that provide the most detailed source of historical information available on pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical innovation in the United States. These databases contain data on products approved from 1963 to the present.

Through regular surveys of companies doing investigational work and/or marketing new therapeutic agents, the Tufts Center obtains data on drugs and biologics that have entered human testing worldwide for the first time, as well as those that have received approval for marketing in the U.S.

Drug developers and marketers provide their data to the Tufts Center because they are assured that their information will be aggregated with data from other firms, and that individual company data will not be disclosed.
