FINDING IMPROVED MEDICINES: THE ROLE OF ACADEMIC–INDUSTRIAL COLLABORATION

Jaye Chin-Dusting, Jacques Mizrahi, Garry Jennings & Desmond Fitzgerald

Abstract

This paper reviews models of academic–pharmaceutical industry collaboration and debates the value of such partnerships so that those contemplating an alliance can reflect a priori on the purpose, nature and process that will provide a constructive outcome. The scope is confined to the biomedical discipline, because collaborations in other fields, such as physics and engineering, have not suffered as a result of the concerns associated with biomedicine.
