Rethinking 'academic' drug discovery: the Manchester Institute perspective.
The contraction in research within pharma has seen a renaissance in drug discovery within the academic setting. Often, groups grow organically from academic research laboratories, exploiting a particular area of novel biology or new technology.

Drug combinations are increasingly important in disease treatments, for combating drug resistance, and for elucidating fundamental relationships in cell physiology. When drugs are combined, their individual effects on cells may be amplified or weakened. Such drug interactions are crucial for treatment efficacy, but their underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To uncover the causes of dru...

متن کاملApoptosis mechanisms: implications for cancer drug discovery.
Defects in the regulation of apoptosis (programmed cell death) make important contributions to the pathogenesis and progression of most cancers and leukemias. Apoptosis defects also figure prominently in resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, and immune-based treatments. Apoptosis is caused by activation of intracellular proteases, known as caspases, that are responsible di...
متن کاملRethinking the Antibiotic Discovery Paradigm
Experience is a valuable asset in scientific discovery. It enables the researcher to understandwhat has and has notworked in the past, and the way that problems can or should be addressed. However sometimes experience becomes enmired in dogma, and we must become careful as scientists not to think that what has been done previously is the only meaningful route forward. A strong object lesson is ...
