The San Diego Center for Systems Biology Workshop - La Jolla, CA, United States
Drug discovery and development is recognized to be one of the most complex and risky endeavors undertaken by mankind. Recent evaluations of the drug industry and productivity over the last 10 years has shown that the average cost of each new drug reaching the market now exceeds 1 billion dollar and takes over a decade. While much has been written from a business perspective about the process and alternative approaches to succeed against the odds, there are many practical aspects to drug discovery that should be taken in to consideration before launching in to a translational program centered around a break through discovery made in the lab.
This workshop will feature speakers from San Diego from both academia and industry who have first hand experience in managing successful drug discovery projects and navigating the parallel process of partnering and resourcing. It is intended to provide a forum for sharing experiences on the many components of drug discovery from technical consideration on the technology platform (small and large molecule) and the many steps of how drug candidates are identified, optimized and refined for use in the clinic.
