The next Wolfson Institute seminar is on Tuesday 21 November at
4pm:
"Innovation in the pharmaceutical industry".
It will be given by David Horrobin of Laxdale Ltd, Stirling and based
on his recent paper in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
"Effective innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is failing and
this is a major reason for mergers of major companies. Major
reasons for failure include a lack of support for creative individuals
and for clinical research and a huge investment in unproven new
technologies like combinatorial chemistry, high throughput
screening and genomics. Genomics is highly unlikely to lead to
the much-touted benefits."
All are welcome. Nearest underground stations are Barbican or
Farringdon. The address is as below.
