Scientific Frontier Series 18: Conquering the an unexplored summit! RIKEN Program for Drug Discovery and Medical Technology Platforms
Outline
New drug development is like conquering an unconquered mountain. After the causes of diseases and promising compounds are identified, candidate agents must cross a number of “valleys of death,” before one becomes a drug that can save patients. No compound can become a drug without overcoming these valleys. To pave the way for drug development, RIKEN established a system that links basic science to clinical drug development. The core of this system is the
Program for Drug Discovery and Medical Technology Platforms (DMP). How does DMP function?
