Stop TB Partnership - Working Group for New Drugs - Berlin 12Nov2010
1. Open LaboratoryDrugDiscovery at GSK: Collaboratingon Medicines forDiseases of theDevelopingWorld Martin Pan Discovery Medicine
2. Purpose of thisPresentation GSK CommitmenttoDiseases of theDevelopingWorld Introduce the Tres Cantos open laboratory concept Whatdoessuccess look like?
3. Our Mission To improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more feel better live longer
4. The Challenge Africa has 24% global disease burden, but only 3% of the world’s health workers Healthcare spending (annual per capita) $34 - minimum required for fundamental healthcare <$12 - 35/46 countries in Africa spend $2,000 - high income countries Access to essential medicines <30% - Africa
5. GSK’s Response - Why? Ethical imperative Build a new, sustainable business model to address the needs and capabilities of the developing world Image and reputation imperative Demonstrate to financial institutions & external stakeholders effective GSK management of non-financial risks and thereby meet the expectations of society Business imperative Defend importance of IP framework for innovation Responsibly pursue commercial opportunities It’s the right thing to do for patients, society AND for our business
32. GSK Diseases of the Developing World Focused on R&D in malaria, TB and other neglected diseases Collaborative with key funding partnerships Projects prioritised by unmet medical need - not commercial benefit Approx. 120 scientists in Tres Cantos Full access to GSK resources
33. What is our Vision for Tres Cantos? A campus that is recognised as a leading place to translate ideas into medicines for Diseases of the Developing World (DDW) The first port of call for any academic, institute or pharma company wishing to partner in drug discovery for DDW A pipeline of innovative transformational medicines for malaria, resistant TB and other Diseases of the Developing World
35. Open Innovation for Neglected Tropical Diseases Comprises three main strands: Being more flexible with our IP and know-how - Knowledge Pool Enabling access to our resources - open laboratory Opening up access to our compounds and data

50. Open Architecture Approach to Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases Significant research funding devoted to neglected tropical diseases, but research largely fragmented Need for more concerted, collaborative approach to reduce redundancy and increase chance of success Neglected tropical disease research is an ideal area to explore innovative data sharing approaches Open architecture approach could be model for future pharmaceutical R&D 21
