Novel approaches to tackling obesity, cancer and MRSA

Obesity, cancer and the hospital "superbug" MRSA are the targets for novel drugs being developed under a new scheme funded by the Wellcome Trust. The Seeding Drug Discovery initiative aims to bridge the funding gap for health researchers involved in early-stage drug discovery projects that will be the springboard for further research and development by the biotech and pharmaceutical industry.

Speakers:

Seeding Drug Discovery Dr Ted Bianco (Technology Transfer Division, Wellcome Trust)
Natural gut hormone offers hope for new obesity drug Professor Steve Bloom (Imperial College London)
New antibacterials being developed to tackle MRSA Dr Lloyd Czaplewski (Prolysis)
Novel approach to cancer drug Professor Jeremy Tavar (University of Bristol)
