What strategies and technologies should we adopt if we’re to turn today’s promising drug molecules into tomorrow’s safe, effective and affordable medicines? That was the focus of the discussion at Aptuit’s one-day workshop, Improving Candidate Selection Strategies: Translating Molecules into Medicines, held in Hertfordshire, UK, on October 23rd

With tablets and capsules convenient for patients to take and cost-effective to manufacture, it’s little wonder that oral delivery is the preferred route of administration for most pharmaceutical development projects. Yet current discovery strategies are increasingly resulting in larger, more lipophilic drug candidates. It’s thought that up to...

How do we reduce attrition in drug development and ensure scientific innovation translates into safe, effective and affordable treatments for patients? These were the questions at the heart of Aptuit’s one-day think tank event, Improving Candidate Selection Strategies: Translating Molecules into Medicines, held in San Francisco on September...

What pharmaceutical design strategies must we adopt if we’re to drug the ‘undruggable’ 80% of protein targets thought to be out of reach of current drug discovery techniques? Industry leaders from biotech and pharma gathered at The Marker Hotel, San Francisco, to discuss how to overcome this challenge at Aptuit’s interactive workshop Mission...
