New Mathematical Model May Improve Drug Discovery – Study Co-Authored by CFB’s Dr. Eleanor Allen

A new mathematical model that uses drug-target kinetics to predict how drugs work in vivo may provide a foundation to improve drug discovery, which is frequently hampered by the inability to predict effective doses of drugs. The discovery by Peter Tonge, a Professor of Chemistry and Radiology, and Director of Infectious Disease Research at the Institute for Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery (ICB & DD) at Stony Brook University, is co-authored by the Center for Biotechnology’s Dr. Eleanor Allen, along with collaborators at Stony Brook University and AstraZeneca. Read the full study published advanced online in Nature Chemical Biology. Read more about the team from the Stony Brook Newsroom.

The video modules and course details can be found here: https://www.nibib.nih.gov/entrepreneurial-finance-course The National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports the development and commercialization of biomedical technologies through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. With the goal of bringing life-saving innovations to market, NIH SBIR/STTR funding provides early-stage seed capital to US-owned small businesses. While the commercialization of biomedical technologies can require a significant amount of both time and money, rigorous financial planning can help navigate and mitigate risks for small businesses and can enhance chances of success along the pathway to market. For biomedical innovators considering funding through the NIH SBIR/STTR programs (https://sbir.nih.gov), it is imperative to evaluate the use of federal grant funding within the context of a broader financial plan. Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to present biomedical entrepreneurs with a detailed framework for building a step-wise, validated financial plan. Moving beyond the short-term perspective of immediate financing needs to a comprehensive, long-term financial plan will increase the probability of success for your venture. The primary learning objectives for this course are as follows: - Understand the importance of financial planning for your small business - Gain perspective on SBIR/STTR funding within the broader context of your financial plan - Learn practical approaches to developing a long-term financial plan - Evaluate the various sources of funding - Examine the use of comparables in validating your financial plan   [post_title] => Free Course from NIH: Entrepreneurial Finance for Biomedical Innovators [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => free-course-from-nih-entrepreneurial-finance-for-biomedical-innovators [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2018-12-17 20:28:10 [post_modified_gmt] => 2018-12-17 20:28:10 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://centerforbiotechnology.org/?p=3099 [menu_order] => 109 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) [2] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 2436 [post_author] => 4 [post_date] => 2016-10-24 13:50:10 [post_date_gmt] => 2016-10-24 13:50:10 [post_content] => The Life Sciences Summit is an early stage investor and business development conference that highlights innovation.
