This intensive two-day ‘master course’ is designed to help non-scientists gain a foundational understanding of the science that forms the backbone of biopharma so that you can converse more effectively with colleagues\, clients\, regulators\, and scientists. \nOn day one\, instructor and biotech consultant Kevin Curran\, Ph.D.\, will focus on the function of DNA\, RNA\, proteins\, and cell signaling and how each interacts in both healthy and diseased tissue. \nDay two will build on your newfound molecular biology knowledge\, including a more in-depth look at genetic disease and how genetic engineering is used to create personalized medicine options for patients. \nThe course concludes with a survey of small molecule drugs\, biologics\, and vaccines and explains how each mitigates disease at the molecular level. \nUpon completion of this course\, you will have: \n\nFluency in the essential terminology of the biopharma industry\nAn understanding of the science driving your company or client’s products\nImproved ability to communicate with colleagues and stakeholders\nDetermination of where your organization “fits” in the healthcare landscape\nIncreased comprehension of innovative therapies within the biopharma industry\n\nSeating is limited\, so register early to reserve your spot.

Dr. Cullis and co-workers have been responsible for fundamental advances in the development of nanomedicines employing lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology for cancer therapies\, gene therapies and vaccines. This work has contributed to five drugs that have received clinical approval. Dr. Cullis has co-founded eleven biotechnology companies that now employ over 300 people\, has published over 350 scientific articles and is an inventor on over 60 patents. He has also co-founded three not-for-profit enterprises including the Centre for Drug Research and Development (now AdMare) in 2004 and the NanoMedicines Innovation Network in 2019. Dr. Cullis has received numerous awards including the Order of Canada in 2021 and the VinFuture Prize\, the Prince Mahidol Award and the Gairdner International Award in 2022. Two recently approved drugs that are enabled by LNP delivery systems devised by Dr. Cullis\, members of his UBC laboratory and colleagues in the companies he has co-founded deserve special emphasis. The first is Onpattro which was approved by the US FDA in August 2018 to treat the previously fatal hereditary condition transthyretin-induced amyloidosis (hATTR). Onpattro is the first RNAi drug to receive regulatory approval. The second is Comirnaty\, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech that has received regulatory approval in many jurisdictions including Canada\, the USA\, the UK and Europe.

Drug development in Canada is a long and complex process\, and the market is competitive. At the heart of drug development is intellectual property (IP). Life sciences companies who develop an IP strategy at the outset of a new project have a competitive advantage by creating value\, generating revenue\, and obtaining market intelligence. Without a strategy\, companies risk losing IP assets\, missing out on investment opportunities\, and being exposed to competition. \nA panel of industry professionals addressed topics such as identifying intellectual property during R&D\, the importance of freedom to operate analysis\, international filing strategies and portfolio management\, and of course\, the unique industry challenges brought to light due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nThank you to our sponsor:\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSpeakers:  \n\nBrian Kingwell\, Partner\, Gowling WLG\nIsabelle Riedl\, Senior Supervisor\, Intellectual Property\, Medicago\nSonia Ziesche\, Principal\, Patent Agent\, Gowling WLG\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/ZRTHvL0mirM” title=”View the Event Recording:”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://lifesciencesbc.ca/event/from-discovery-to-market-the-role-of-ip-strategy-in-drug-development/ LOCATION:BC CATEGORIES:2021 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lifesciencesbc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Gowling-Event-Images-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211007T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211007T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T222940 CREATED:20210901T231749Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211007T201232Z UID:27835-1633599000-1633604400@lifesciencesbc.ca SUMMARY:Blakes Breakfast Speaking Series DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Thursday\, October 7\, 2021\, Life Sciences BC held a webinar on radiopharmaceuticals\, a new class of drugs that is emerging to expand the spectrum of treatments for cancer. These drugs deliver radiation directly and specifically to cancer cells. and they contain radioactive isotopes and can be used as both diagnostic and therapeutic agents. \nTargeting radiation therapy at the cellular level has the potential to reduce the risk of both short-term and long-term side effects of treatment\, while proving effective at killing even the small clusters of cancer cells throughout the body. \nReduced side effects and precision delivery are driving the interest and high growth in this new generation of radiopharmaceuticals. A number of new therapies are emerging\, including using lutetium-177 to treat prostate and neuroendocrine cancers. The global market for radiopharmaceuticals was estimated at $6.1 billion in 2019\, and is projected to reach $12.6 billion by 2027. \n \nThe Blakes Breakfast Speaking Series is our longest-standing event series and one of our most popular. These breakfasts include presentations by local\, national\, and multinational life science companies and typically attract a cross-section of approximately 75 of our life sciences community members.
