Abstract

Increasingly, the field is recognizing the need to enable a closer collaboration of industry and academia to create a more efficient system for developing new drugs. In parallel with this, the world of drug discovery has seen the emergence of translational research as an alternative approach to the creation of new drugs, and there is growing support for the claim that this strategy may provide solutions to some of the woes of the pharmaceutical industry. Translational medicine and translational pharmacology have become terms increasingly used to describe the focus of applied pharmacological research to ultimately help patients. Yet, the number of effective medicines reaching the approval stage continues to decline. Drug discovery represents the first step in the creation of new drugs, and takes place in academic institutions, biotech companies, and large pharmaceutical corporations. With the rise of translational research these relationships are shifting and new hubs are emerging, as key players seek to pool the expertise necessary to generate new therapies by linking laboratory discoveries directly to unmet clinical needs.
