Drug discovery and medicinal chemistry initiatives in academia provide an opportunity to create a unique environment that is distinct from the traditional industrial model. Two characteristics of a university setting that are not usually associated with pharma are the ability to pursue high-risk projects and a depth of expertise, infrastructure, and capabilities in focused areas. Encouraging, supporting, and fostering drug discovery efforts that take advantage of these and other distinguishing characteristics of an academic setting can lead to novel and innovative therapies that might not be discovered otherwise.
学术界的药物研发和药物化学项目提供了一个机会,来创建一个有别于传统产业模式的独特环境。大学环境的两个通常与制药行业无关的特点是能够开展高风险项目,以及在特定领域拥有深厚的专业知识、基础设施和能力。鼓励、支持并促进利用学术环境的这些及其他显著特征的药物研发工作,可能会带来否则可能无法发现的新颖创新疗法。
