Pharmaceutical Executive Europe - February 2008 - (Page 15) Pharmaceutical Executive Europe February 2008 R&D: Innovation 15 It’s not only the pharma companies that are not investing in neglected diseases, unfortunately. Agencies like the US National Institutes of Health or Medical Reserve Corps are also not funding research into these diseases because they feel that it’s public money that needs to be applied first to cancers and Alzheimer’s and so on, and not to diseases that are primarily occurring in other countries. So even the basic science at universities is neglected. The community of companies that are now reinvesting in these neglected diseases have to build on a very thin, basic science base. Again, it is extremely important that we use the resources that we have as efficiently as possible and try to coordinate and not all work on the same idea or the same thing. There are difficulties with that, but I’m currently discussing with other colleagues in the industry a concept for how we could do it, at least to a limited extent, without getting into antitrust problems and so on. PE: Where can we learn more about that? It’s not yet public because I’m still learning, and it’s not finished. Actually, I’ve worked for two years on this project, and it has been very difficult to convince people. But we have a number of pharmaceutical companies interested, and we might have the concept sufficiently advanced so that we can at least discuss it in public soon. ● Additional contribution by Alissa Piccione.
