Research and Development Ecosystem Jeffrey Cummings | University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Neville M. Jadeja
Provides a definitive overview of the complex ecosystem facilitating Alzheimer’s Disease drug research and development. Demonstrates a drug’s journey from in the lab, clinical trial testing, regulatory review, and marketing by pharmaceutical companies. Details the use of artificial intelligence, clinical trial management, and financing models. • Uniform outline and structure of chapters allows readers to select and digest the information most relevant to them quickly and efficiently. • Provides a definitive overview of the Alzheimer’s disease drug development pipeline, with chapters devoted to the major aspects of drug discovery in sequence. • Tackles a hugely topical subject matter, with almost 6 million Alzheimer’s patients in the US alone and new treatments needed urgently. • Aimed at the many individuals working in Alzheimer’s disease drug development, the book helps readers understand their role and others’ and how they intersect. This includes scientists involved in clinical trials, funding officials in private and public bodies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as students and clinicians working with Alzheimer’s patients. • Provides insight into how a drug such as the recently approved aducanumab is discovered, developed, approved, and marketed.
