Is Drug Repurposing Really As Promising As It Seems?

Dr. Christine Colvis, Director of Drug Development Partnership Programs for the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the US National Institutes of Health, leads the Center’s Discovering New Therapeutic Uses for Existing Molecules program, and will share her expertise at the DIAmond session Drug Repurposing: Where Will It Take Us? at our DIA 2017 Global Annual Meeting. “The academic community has really, really embraced this. As you can imagine, having the opportunity to potentially in your own lifetime (especially for preclinical researchers) have your research have an impact on health is almost a dream come true,” Dr. Colvis explains in this exclusive Global Forum podcast. “Most academic researchers are not simply going through an academic exercise; they really do want to have an impact on health and disease, and we’ve had such positive responses.” Register for our DIA 2017 Global Annual Meeting in Chicago!
