Innovations In Drug Discovery

Technology has been a serious driver of advances in drug discovery. Automation, nanofluidics, imaging, software and assay technologies have played a serious role in recuperating data, faster.

Is drug discovery at such a complicated state that further improvements are not any longer needed or cost-effective? There are different opinions on this and far of the evidence is anecdotal, but technology innovation is critical to the development of the drug discovery process and price discussing.

Over the course of a year I attend 4 or 5 drug discovery conferences within the US and Europe. this provides me an honest opportunity to go to exhibits, attend presentations and skim posters. However, the simplest a part of these meetings is that the chance to debate drug discovery with colleagues. the standard conversation at these meetings is: “See anything new?” and therefore the response is most often: “No, nothing.” In 2009 the conversation often led to the state of innovation in drug discovery technology.

I was surprised over the universal response that it had declined significantly. The comments were often much stronger than that, but the purpose was clear. It didn’t matter if the conversation was with senior executives, bench scientists or technology developers involved in product R&D; all of them believe that innovation has declined. This decline isn't a recent phenomenon, but has been growing since the economic downturn of 2002 – an honest a part of a decade.
