Best Practices - New Technologies for Accelerating Drug Development
SESSION OVERVIEWAs outlined in the FDA's Critical Path Document, the drug discovery and development process is in dire need of modernization. The relative lack of new licensed drugs in spite of sharply increasing R&D investment clearly illustrates this point. Join the MaRS team and others for an informal discussion of the topic following a webcast from the Cambridge Healthtech Institute. |  |

11:00 – Webcast
“Possibilities for Rescuing Drug Discovery & Development: Practical Applications for Systems Pathology and Systems Pharmacology”
In this webcast, Dr. Robert McBurney, Chief Scientific Officer for BG Medicine will discuss how an in vivo systems biology approach could be the paradigm needed to rescue biopharma R&D. The presentation will focus on how Systems Thinking can be used to improve decision making in drug discovery & development.
11:45-12:30
General discussion of the web cast topics will be facilitated by Dr. Brian Barber, UHN, Head of Global Ventures Learn More about Drug Development Technologies
