Scientists in Scotland have discovered an anti-malarial compound that could eventually treat the disease and prevent its transmission with a dose that costs just $1. We look into this promising research and find out whether it could turn a new page for malaria treatment.
While the threat of antimicrobial resistance continues to grow, antibiotics innovation has stalled due to a lack investment. We ask what can be done to attract much-needed funds to this vital area of drug development. We also investigate why Parkinson’s trails continue to suffer from low success rates, and review research suggesting that statins could find a new application in improving cancer survival rates.
Moreover, we find out how London Mayor Boris Johnson aims to attract pharma business to the city with a £10bn ‘megafund’, and investigate what a British exit from the EU could mean for the country’s pharma companies and their European counterparts.
