Resilient pathways for drug discovery in challenging times

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Proposed budget cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by the current administration pose significant risk to academic and small biopharma drug discovery in the USA. Yet even in this challenging climate, there are viable strategies to ensure continued scientific progress. We highlight several approaches, including harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), diversifying funding sources, accelerating commercialization and licensing, fostering new global collaborations, and strengthening public engagement in science.
