Project description
Enhancing screening in the drug discovery pipeline will boost successful passage through it
Drug approval still takes about 14 years and the failure rate during clinical trials is about 85 %. At each phase, many targets fail due to safety and efficacy issues, in large part because research models of disease do not adequately model all human factors. SINERGIA will focus on optimising the use of four cutting-edge technologies that support in vivo modelling of drug mechanisms and effects. It brings together academic research entities, contract research organisations, and biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Implementation of better disease models in the drug discovery pipeline could significantly enhance the success and speed at which new candidates are brought from the bench to the bedside.
