DeutschStefan Frischbutter: Drug Discovery in academia
Event date
Thursday, 10 January 2019 || Time: 14:00
Delineation
More than one hundred years ago Paul Ehrlich developed chemotherapy and thereby pioneered drug discovery. Since then, this research area has turned into a multi-billion-dollar business which was for a long time dominated by the pharma industry. However, this is about to change: drug discovery in academic institutions becomes more and more popular again. Based on my own experience and using several examples I will highlight the value of academic drug discovery for the development of sophisticated therapeutic approaches especially for indications with unmet medical need.
