One Project, Many Customers
In theory, the drug discovery and development pathway is not complicated. You start with an exciting idea where biology meets disease, target a mechanism, and identify and optimise a molecule that can modulate the mechanism to treat the disease. Theoretically, it would work that way if not for different stakeholders expecting different data to justify […]

Reflections from ECM2022, Copenhagen, July 2022
The Extracellular Matrix Pharmacology Symposium 2022, aka ECM2022, took place in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago. The focus of this three-day meeting was very much on the role of collagens and other extra-cellular matrix components in health and disease. What did we learn? A lot about the basic structure and function of matrix proteins, […]

What is a rare disease? In the European Union, a disease is categorised as ‘rare’ if it affects fewer […]
