The Value in Decolonising Drug Discovery
Why Partnership Beats Extraction
The simplest way to discuss extraction in drug discovery or taking knowledge from a source without attribution is that its a bad habitTo frame it as a historical relic is to misunderstand its persistent and modern reality Cells being taken from a tumor of Henrietta Lacks without consent in remains...
APAC’s Rising Role in Neurodegenerative Disease Research and Development
Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the most pressing global health challenges of the coming decades driven by aging populations increasing disease prevalence and the absence of curative therapies While historically concentrated in North America and Europe research and development efforts in...
Novel Developments in Drug Delivery Systems
From nanobots to smart therapeutics
Discovery of new active pharmaceutical compounds is no longer the only essential factor for therapeutic innovation clinical success increasingly depends on how effectively those agents are delivered to the intended site of action
Changing Paradigms in Use of AI in Chemical Sciences
During my postgraduate studies three decades ago I was drawn to the emerging fields of cheminformatics and computeraided molecular design CAMD Working with Silicon Graphics workstations and advanced computational tools of that era significantly shaped my scientific direction Throughout my career I h...
The New Pharmacovigilance Era
Technology, precision, and patient-centric safety
When purchasing a new kitchen appliance or trying a new skincare product most of us instinctively take small safety steps checking reviews looking for quality certifications or doing a quick patch test These everyday habits reflect a simple principle we rarely trust something new without validating...

Redefining Clinical Manufacturing in the Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by advanced manufacturing technologies that challenge conventional models of drug development clinical supply and production Among these innovations threedimensional D printing and more specifically semisolid extrusion SSE pr...
Redefining Therapeutics
Immune modulatory vaccines as pipeline-ready combination amplifiers
Cancer immunotherapy has proven that removing inhibitory signals can generate durable tumor control yet it has also clarified the core limitation Many treatments do not fail because effector cells cannot recognise cancer but they fail because the local ecosystem enforces immune suppression and immun...
The Green Revolution in Medicine
Healing patients without harming the planet
The term Green Revolution originally referred to the agricultural transformation of the s when scientific advances dramatically increased food production and reshaped global food security That revolution changed the world by solving a critical human challenge hunger Yet today humanity faces a new cr...
