More than one in three of us will get cancer, just over one in four of us will die of cancer...
Therefore development of anticancer drugs is very important, therefore "fast track" development is needed
Problems with discovering new anti-cancer drugs
- Very difficult to model the time course of most cancers
- Most cancers are heterogeneous
- Most animal models have very low predictability
Discovery
- Rational design (biological target, medicinal chemistry)
- In silico screening
- Random screening (cell panels, chemical libraries, combinatorial chemistry)
