The search for effective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease has long been hindered by the brain’s complexity and the absence of adequate models for drug discovery. “For diseases like Parkinson’s, it’s more than sufficient,” he explains.
The company expects its pharmaceutical division to deliver 20 new medicines through the end of the decade, including several it believes could earn peak annual sales of more than $5 billion.
European venture firm Medicxi built the startup by combining six of its portolio companies, similar to when it merged 10 startups to form Centessa Pharmaceuticals in 2021.
Almost every one of us will know someone with a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. It is less common to know someone with a rare genetic disease; but while individually rare, collectively they have an enormous impact. This will, in turn, slow the progression of, or even halt, the disease.
Deal Structuring Deal structuring in pharmaceutical M&A requires a balance of financial, legal, and strategic considerations. Intellectual Property Valuation Valuing intellectual property (IP) assets is a critical component of pharmaceutical M&A, as these assets often represent a significant portion of a company's value.
Scientists from the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California San Diego have discovered thousands of bile acids. The study’s findings offer new insights into the biochemical language microbes use to influence distant organ systems, which could revolutionise the way researchers approach disease.
This approach not only helps maintain market exclusivity but also ensures a steady revenue stream for pharmaceutical companies. Understanding the Pharmaceutical Market Dynamics The pharmaceutical industry is a complex ecosystem where branded drugs and generics coexist, each playing a vital role in patient care and market dynamics.
Imagine being able to create an in vitro replica of a diseased organ to study the molecular mechanism underlying the illness. Now take a step further: envision testing drugs in these organoids to identify the ones that can treat disease safely and effectively without needing to run expensive clinical trials first.
In the vast realm of pharmaceutical research and development, there’s a fascinating intersection between ancient wisdom and modern science. “Pharmacognosy is the bridge between traditional medicine and modern pharmaceutical science, offering a treasure trove of potential new drugs waiting to be discovered.”
— A new drug developed by professors from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Binghamton University has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a common genetic disease that mostly affects young boys. BINGHAMTON, N.Y.
By: Amy Raymond, Derek Ansel, Nathan Chadwick, & Juliane Mills When choosing a CRO for a rare disease study, what truly sets them apart is their methodology: the CRO’s mindset, their approach to each unique study, and their agility in navigating the inherent complexities of rare disease research. Common goals empower change.
Orphan drug exclusivity is granted to drugs addressing rare ‘orphan diseases’ — those affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans. The post Pharmaceutical companies with the most orphan drugs appeared first on DrugPatentWatch - Make Better Decisions. The protection granted to orphan drugs is quite strong. The FDA is….
DCM is the leading cause of heart failure in patients with chronic diabetes. However, the underlying mechanisms of DCM are poorly understood, and treatment options are limited. Another mystery is the regulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) in the central nervous system.
functions to reset the immune system and potentially provide remission for allergic diseases? In allergic diseases, APCs identify and present unknown antigens to the immune system. This can lead to inadequate long-term effectiveness with low rates of disease remission. They also require frequent administration.
By Mike Cloonan, Chief Executive Officer of Sionna Therapeutics, as part of the From The Trenches feature of LifeSciVC The drug development process in rare diseases is rife with challenges especially when companies target significant differentiation or first-in-class targets.
Orphan drug designation is a regulatory status granted to pharmaceuticals developed for the treatment of rare diseases. It provides incentives to encourage the research, development, and approval of therapies targeting small patient populations.
How do you prioritise which therapeutic areas or diseases to focus on in your drug discovery efforts? About the author James Graham, CEO of Recce Pharmaceuticals Recce Pharmaceuticals. James Graham is the CEO of Recce Pharmaceuticals.
It is no mystery that as we age our health starts to deteriorate, and we become increasingly susceptible to diseases. Through years of scientific exploration and research, we now know there are several biological changes that make our bodies more susceptible to disease or injury, and we can target those with therapeutic interventions.
Global integrated drug discovery company, Sygnature Discovery and global healthcare group Daewoong Pharmaceutical, have entered into a research collaboration agreement to accelerate the discovery of a novel small molecule to target autoimmune disease.
How does COUR Pharmaceuticals’ immune-modifying nanoparticle platform differ from traditional approaches to treating immune-mediated diseases? Essentially, our CNPs reprogramme the immune system by restoring balance and returning the body to a homeostatic state, offering a precise approach to treating immune-mediated diseases.
professor of pharmaceutical sciences in the Wayne State University Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and of pharmacology in Wayne State’s School of Medicine, received a $3 million, five-year award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health.

The authors obscure the real story with mathematical sleight-of-hand that misrepresents the underlying data and overlooks the true nature of today’s pharmaceutical innovations. But as I explain, the study’s headline conclusion is highly misleading.
Ladders to Cures (L2C) Accelerator By Maria Nemchuk November 25, 2024 Breadcrumb Home Ladders to Cures (L2C) Accelerator The Ladders to Cures (L2C) Accelerator aims to catalyze progress across the research ecosystem and accelerates advances leading to treatments and cures for patients with rare genetic diseases.
A number of areas represent significant opportunities for Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) beyond oncology, leveraging their ability to deliver therapeutic agents specifically to diseased cells or tissues while minimising off-target effects. Oncology also offers high returns and the opportunity to address severe, life-threatening conditions.
Inhaled combination products (ICP) have emerged as a significant advancement in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other pulmonary conditions. The goal of ICPs is to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases.
While we are housed within a nanoscience centre, we enable microscopy techniques which can be used for much more than just nanoscience; rather, most of our users are medical and biological researchers doing things like designing new drug delivery vehicles, researching artificial tissue constructs and xenografts, or investigating disease and cancer (..)
The use of biomarkers has transformed the pharmaceutical industry by allowing researchers to develop therapies that target specific pathways in diseases. These can be proteins, genes, or other molecules that signal an abnormal or normal process in the body.
Brain disorders are difficult to study and many drug candidates have failed in clinical trials, causing pharmaceutical companies to reduce their investments or even exit the field entirely. Studies of Alzheimer's disease are teaching us that it's possible to measure some clinically important CSF biomarkers in blood.
A new shift is occurring in the pharmaceutical industry, leading to a rapidly expanding field known as digital therapeutics (DTx). These interventions target a broad spectrum of medical conditions, encompassing chronic diseases and even substance abuse. Healthcare providers also stand to gain significantly from DTx adoption.
Cells are the units of life, yet they also drive disease. By applying AI/ML to the evolving gamut of single-cell technologies, we can better understand how cells transition from a state of health to disease. This new approach to drug discovery uncovers novel biology, even in diseases with no known targets.
