In the run up to our 2nd Annual Drug Discovery USA Congress 2015, we spoke with Matthew Wagoner a discovery safety specialist from AstraZeneca, a confirmed speaker at the congress where he will talk about Bromodomain And ExtraTerminal (BET) Domain Inhibitors Induce A Loss Of Intestinal Stem Cells And Villous Atrophy.

Big Pharma is keen to increase drug discovery productivity; which strategies do you think will help to increase R&D output?

“I think the strategies for increasing drug discovery productivity will be multifaceted. We do quite a bit of the traditional internal repurposing and rescue, which is a great way of accelerating a nascent project idea with more advanced chemistry. The most promising of these approaches, in my opinion, is opening up your pharmacology toolbox and clinical compound bank to academics so they can test their best hypotheses with our best molecules. AstraZeneca has done that with great success through the NIH/NCATS and MRC, with 10+ clinical and translational research projects being initiated in academia with AstraZeneca’s patient-ready compounds.”
