It aims to help academics translate their research by collaborating to develop novel therapeutics and partner these to the pharmaceutical sector for clinical development and ultimately patient benefit. LifeArc works in any area of unmet clinical need and have a strong track record of success, having helped developed the marketed drugs Keytruda (Merck), Actemra (Roche), Tysabri (Biogen Idec) and Entyvio (Takeda).As Business Development Manager my role involved scouting for new potential drug discovery projects in UK, Europe and US by visiting research institutions and meeting with scientists and TTOs. We offer a full suite of industry-standard drug discovery capabilities, including assay development, HTS, in silico and structural biology, medicinal chemistry, ADME, antibody humanisation and engineering. We operate a shared-risk model where both parties contribute to the project and we share revenues with our collaborators should the project be successful.Once projects have generated preclinical assets with therapeutic proof of concept in a relevant disease model and well-protected IP my role is also to out-license these to pharma companies for further clinical development.I also managed the Dementia Consortium, a unique partnership involving Alzheimer's Research UK, the pharma companies Lilly, Astex and Eisai and MRC Technology, that aims to accelerate the development of new therapeutics for neurodegenerative disease.
