The REMEDi4ALL Drug Repurposing Bootcamp for Academics

Drug repurposing represents a vital pathway for treatment development, both for patient communities and academic innovators. Finding new uses for existing drugs can provide a more rapid pathway to patient impact, both by reducing the number of steps to a clinical trial and reducing the financial barrier to research.While the potential of repurposing is huge, the pathway to deliver a repurposed medicine from concept to market remains a hugely challenging one. This is particularly hard for academic researchers to navigate – employing their scientific skill set to the complex and highly regulated world of drug development unsupported can lead to projects quickly becoming mired in challenges or uncertainty.

The REMEDi4ALL Drug Repurposing Bootcamp for Academics, held at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Cambridge, aims to support researchers embarking on this journey. This pilot training course will provide face to face training to explain the full drug repurposing pathway, helping researchers understand the steps involved in turning a repurposing hypothesis into a product capable of delivering real impact to patients.
