As the nation deals with spiraling drug costs and an urgent need for new treatments, the Myelin Repair Foundation has pioneered a holistic approach to multiple sclerosis drug development that bridges the gap between the promising discoveries made in academic laboratories and big-pharmaceutical drug research and development. The approach shows early promise in cutting development costs and shaving years off of the time it takes to move a drug from basic science to patient therapy.
The Myelin Repair Foundation's approach will not only benefit the millions living with MS but also provides a new source of high-quality drug targets for the dwindling biopharma pipelines. Learn why the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Pioneer Portfolio of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Scott Cook & Signe Ostby Foundation are investing in MRF's unique approach, its potential to accelerate the drug development process, and why this should call attention to the demand for a new research paradigm. The session will include an interactive Q&A portion where participants can direct questions to participating panelists.
