  • The 53Rd Annual MIKI Meeting-In-Miniature
    The 53rd Annual MIKI Meeting-in-Miniature April 10th to 12th, 2015 The University of Kansas School of Pharmacy Lawrence, KS Welcome to the 53rd Annual MIKI Meeting! On behalf of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Kansas, we welcome you to Lawrence, Kansas and the 53rd Annual MIKI Meeting-in-Miniature! This weekend provides a unique opportunity to become reacquainted with old friends and continue to expand your network in a dynamic and collaborative environment. We look forward to hosting such a brilliant group of young scientists. We would also like to thank you for your scientific contributions to the meeting because without those we would not be here! Since its inauguration in 1963, this meeting-in-miniature has provided graduate students from the universities of Minnesota, Illinois at Chicago, Kansas, and Iowa with the opportunity to participate in a larger scientific community by organizing and hosting the conference. The location of the meeting rotates between one of the four participating schools each year, with a full cycle completed every four years. In addition to allowing students to present their research, MIKI allows both faculty and students to exchange ideas, learn about other fields, and expand their network. The MIKI Keynote Address has been presented by world-class scientists, including multiple Nobel Prize winners and ACS Division of Medicinal Chemistry Hall of Fame Inductees. This year we are proud to host Dr. Bruce Roth. Dr. Roth is the inventor of Lipitor®, the best selling drug of all time. Currently, he is the Senior Vice President of Small Molecule Drug Discovery at Genentech Research and Early Development.

  • A Longitudinal Analysis of Blockbuster Pharmaceutical Drugs
    Paper to be presented at the DRUID Academy 2013 on DRUID Academy 2013 at Comwell Rebild Bakker, Rebild/Aalborg A longitudinal analysis of blockbuster pharmaceutical drugs. Thomas Hannigan Temple University Fox School of Business, Department of Strategic Management [email protected] Ram Mudambi Temple Universtity, Fox School of Business Strategic Management [email protected] Andrew Sfekas Temple University Fox School of Business, Department of Risk, Insurance, and H [email protected] Abstract ?Blockbuster? drugs play a key role in the pharmaceutical industry. However, discovery and development alone are not enough to create a blockbuster. Firms must be able to market the drug aggressively to achieve the potential gains from their innovation. The knowledge behind each drug may come from a variety of sources, both large and small: firm size is not a significant advantage at the development stage (Cockburn & Henderson 2001; Danzon et al. 2005). However, larger firms may benefit more financially after a drug is approved (Ciftci & Cready 2011). We argue that while many firms are capable of discovering and developing new drugs, only a handful of firms are capable of successfully commercializing a breakthrough innovation. This commercialization capability is what creates a blockbuster: without this capability, even a major innovation would not reach blockbuster status. The roots of this study extend to Schumpeter (1942), and ability of large firms to invest in research and development. While asymmetric information in the market for knowledge internalizes R&D activity (Arrow, 1962), it is competitive pressure that forces the firm to maintain a pipeline of innovation. A monopolistic firm will also be under pressure to delay the release of innovations in order to minimize cannibalization and maximize returns from extant products (Scherer, 1965).

  • Bolt Biotherapeutics Announces Scientific Advisory Board with the Appointment of Drs. Larry Fong, Roy Herbst and Bruce Roth
    Bolt Biotherapeutics Announces Scientific Advisory Board with the Appointment of Drs. Larry Fong, Roy Herbst and Bruce Roth -- SAB Members Bring Cancer Immunotherapy and Clinical Trial Experience to the Development of Bolt's Immune-stimulating Antibody Conjugate Technology-- REDWOOD CITY, CA, October 8, 2019 – Bolt Biotherapeutics, Inc., a private biotechnology company focused on unleashing the power of the immune system to treat cancer, today announced the addition of three world-class researchers to its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB): • Lawrence Fong, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco • Roy S. Herbst, M.D., Ph.D. of Yale Cancer Center / Yale School of Medicine • Bruce D. Roth, Ph.D., retired Genentech executive and biotech research consultant “I see first-hand the tremendous progress being made in cancer immunotherapy. Bolt’s ISAC technology is among the most promising on the horizon given the encouraging preclinical tumor model results demonstrating complete regression of previously resistant tumors and induction of immunological memory, which promises increased durability of response for patients,” stated Dr. Fong. “From my work on resistance to current immunotherapies, there is a clear need for novel therapies that can treat patients who are refractory to immune checkpoint blockade, such as anti-PD-L1/PD1. Bolt’s ISAC mechanism of action is very exciting with data showing strong anti-tumor effects in multiple preclinical tumor models and the bolstering of the innate and adaptive immune response,” stated Dr. Herbst. “This approach could be very promising for cancer patients including those who do not currently have an active anti-tumor immune response to today’s standard-of-care agents.” “Having pioneered and developed new therapeutic modalities across various disease states, I believe Bolt has tapped into something truly novel by bringing together the foundational knowledge of antibody drug conjugates and immune stimulants.
