IBM’s Watson: From Jeopardy! to Drug Research
Bits of technology from I.B.M.’s Watson are beginning to be used in actual products available to corporate clients. The cloud-based Strategic Intellectual Property Insight Platform “uses data mining, natural-language processing and analytics to pore through millions of patent filings and biomedical journals to look for chemical compounds used in drug discovery.” As a byproduct of this project, I.B.M. is contributing their research to the searchable NIH chemical database, which will ease access to information previously Read More >
Biologics & Biosimilars: What is the Science Telling Us?
Panelists from the varied backgrounds of academia, business and regulation agreed on the highest scientific standards of biosimilar regulation. Each panelist emphasized the need for the most stringent of standards in order to ensure patient safety and efficacy within the emerging biosimilars market. As Brian Liang, Executive Director of the Institute of Health Law Studies at California Western School of Law, summed it up, “the need in biosimilars is to focus on science, not cost. These are Read More >
BIO submits comments on Australian Senate Patent Amendment
The Australian Senate has proposed the Patent Amendment (Human Genes and Biological Materials) Bill 2010 that aims to ban ’gene patents’. From the BIO Submission to Australian Senate Legal Committee on Patent Amendment: This amendment would exclude from patent protection “any” biological material, whether a human gene or otherwise, that is substantially identical to a naturally-occuring biological material. Specifically, the amendment states that the following materials would be catergorically declared unpatentable: “biological materials including their components Read More >

Role of Public-Sector Research in the Discovery of Drugs and Vaccines
Interesting article out of the New England Journal of Medicine entitled The Role of Public-Sector Research in the Discovery of Drugs and Vaccines. Findings: We found that during the past 40 years, 153 new FDA-approved drugs, vaccines, or new indications for existing drugs were discovered through research carried out in PSRIs [public-sector research institutions]. These drugs included 93 small-molecule drugs, 36 biologic agents, 15 vaccines, 8 in vivo diagnostic materials, and 1 over-the-counter drug. More Read More >
