The Collaboration Between Industry and Academia in Drug Development

DrugBank

Drug development is challenging, including not only the complexities of biomolecular drug mechanisms but also the convolutions of regulatory pathways and commercialization strategies. Improved Return on Investment (ROI) Industry-academic partnerships can enhance the financial return on drug development investments.

The power of combinations in blood cancers

Drug Target Review

To bring us closer to curing cancer, a combination of effective drugs with non-overlapping mechanisms of action is required. 6 In all these examples, an effective backbone drug was first developed, before adding one or more drugs to establish the new regimens. 2015);126(1):9-16. 2015);126(4):454-462.

Got It Down Cold: Cryo-Electron Microscopy Named Method of the Year

NIH Director's Blog: Drug Discovery

The technique, which involves flash-freezing molecules in liquid nitrogen and bombarding them with electrons to capture their images with a special camera, has advanced dramatically since its inception thanks to the efforts of many creative minds. The implications for drug discovery and development are perhaps most exciting.

Navigating the partnering galaxy

Dark Matter Blog

As a small biotech company with new technology at the frontier of the known drug discovery universe, it may feel like you’re charting a course alone in a dark, cold, and empty void with hailing frequencies open, but with no incoming transmissions. But you would be wrong. This latter course is Arrakis’ strategy.

AI Tool CHIEF Paints a Landscape of a Cancer, Refining Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis

PLOS: DNA Science

The most groundbreaking cancer drug approval was for Gleevec , with a mere 3-month trajectory at FDA before its approval in 2001. Gleevec is a small molecule that interferes with entry of an enzyme – a tyrosine kinase – that enables growth signals to enter specific cells and trigger division.

Another Milestone in the Cystic Fibrosis Journey

NIH Director's Blog: Drug Development

The next major milestone on the therapeutic pathway was the FDA’s approval in 2015 of Orkambi, a drug that combines ivacaftor with lumacaftor, the first “corrector”. That combination therapy was designed to help CF patients with two copies of the F508del mutation.
