Open Pharma
Open science offers a genuinely new route to the discovery and development of much-needed medicines that complements the traditional pharmaceutical industry. This talk will focus on our research in consortia such as Open Source Malaria, specifically the rules of engagement, the infrastructure and the effects of making everything open in real time. Applying open science in pharmaceutical discovery also presents an economic challenge: how can investment be secured for research conducted without secrecy?
