The Challenges for UK Pharma
The science bases in the developing world are getting
stronger
Life Science clusters eg Boston are attracting the
major Pharma investments
Clinical trial recruitment rates are patchy
UK is most expensive place to fund a post-doc (FEC)
YOUR LOGO Conclusions:
GSK/Pharma are keen to promote a more open culture for sharing ideas & data
Traditional relationships between Academia and Industry are being re-defined
Access to public funding will drive areas of science underpinning the Pharma industry
Innovative partnership models allow both GSK & academics better access to science & technology

YOUR LOGO Facing the challenge; Discover Assist - SBC EXPERTS PANEL
Many promising
technologies originating from academia are slow to
market due to lack of
funding, expertise and experienced development
resources
To leverage resources and
expertise at the interface of chemistry and biology to
help develop better drugs
and medical technologies
SBC DiscoverAssist is a new
drug discovery service offering expert guidance from target generation to drug candidate
optimisation to market
Open innovation model at
SBC to foster connectivity, collaboration, and challenges:
Faster route to clinical proof of
concept and Market entry strategy
Access networks, facilities,
resources, know-how, etc
Access to know-how, IP, ideas,
knowledge, new technologies

SBC
Researchers need access to drug development skills at
GSK and others
Attracted by open innovation model
Focus on the development of new medicines
News led to strong interest from other leading universities
On-going engagement across the UK university base
Directly or via technology transfer offices
Interest in location at SBC or exploitation of academic IP
Strong relationships with University of Manchester,
Hertfordshire, Oxford, Ulster, Edinburgh BioQuarter, UCL, Wellcome Trust, Sanger Institute
Strong desire to work with the Crick on commercialisation
Innovation from Universities

YOUR LOGO Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst – MIMIT initiative on Neurodegeneration
The TTOs of five Academic Health Science Centres have committed
to collaborate for healthcare innovation
Cambridge, Manchester, UCL, Kings, Imperial College
SBC wishes to become a hub for catalysing neuroscience activities,
and commissioned MIMIT* to run workshops with the 5 AHSCs to
scope unmet clinical needs in neurodegeneration
SBC will provide limited funding (£40k max), TTOs have committed
to match
The complexity of the area and discussions at workshops suggest a
collaborative approach across AHSCs is preferable.
Fits SBC’s Open Innovation agenda
* Manchester: Integrating Medicine and Innovative Technology
YOUR LOGO
Proposed next steps
Following guidance and introductions from Prof Ray Hill (SBC Expert Panel member), hold
initial discussions with leading academics in the field at some of 5 AHSCs to test appetite for such a collaboration, how can it bring truly additional benefit to them - understand how to create potential win-win and generate support
Speak to potential industry collaborators with a view to building a consortium
Preliminary discussions held with 4 major pharma, follow-up in detail and explore with further
potential members
Set up formal ‘call for proposals’ on the two themes outlined, then hold workshops with
participants whose proposals may mesh together into a collaboration, together with related TTOs
Once themes and likely participants are clear, establish clear objectives for the programme and funding mechanisms

Connectivity
Collaboration
Challenge
An innovative environment for fast paced drug discovery, innovative drug development to achieve real patient benefit
Expertise in-house from candidate selection to Phase II clinical programmes to include screening; biomarkers; regenerative medicine; nanotechnology; bioinformatics; new therapies, MedTech
An exciting new concept to develop a world class environment for engagement of SBC development expertise with academia, pharma and biotech aligned to H2020 opportunities, Wellcome Trust Challenges etc.

YOUR LOGO Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst Update
UCL - The projects are in chemistry, biology and clean manufacturing
Professors Alexander Seifalian and George Hamilton
to develop vascular and coronary artery bypass grafts. It will be project managed by
UCLB, who will develop laboratory space in the SBC into a clean manufacturing
environment for a first-in-human clinical investigation of a new generation of
biocompatible grafts.
Professor Stephen Caddick and Dr James Baker
to develop well-defined, stable and consistent antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for
the treatment of cancer. ADCs combine the unique targeting capabilities of
antibodies with the cancer-killing ability of cytotoxic drugs.
Professor Rachel Chambers
to investigate potential therapeutics for the treatment of neutrophilic inflammation.

Cambridge
Professor Peter McNaughton
a novel new approach to the pain associated with heat. Billions of dollars are spent each
year on the treatment of pain, but there is currently no effective treatment for the
extreme pain associated with hypersensitivity to heat.
Professor Robin Franklin
a new regenerative therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS). MS affects almost 100,000
people in the UK, 400,000 in the United States and several million worldwide.
SBC Mentoring programme for 15 mentees – launched 18th March
Supported by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, Stevenage
Bioscience Catalyst and Winning Pitch have launched a transformative bespoke
mentoring scheme for the life sciences sector. The year-long programme will
help 15 small life sciences companies move rapidly towards important strategic
goals.

70 staff on site
Plans for multi-user Med Tech Incubator on the ground floor
YOUR LOGO Conclusions
Tenancy and occupancy levels are on the rise
The quality of tenants is high and there is interaction (Open
Innovation) happening- NEW TENANTS, March 2014
Plans for Phase 2 Park development will begin in earnest soon
Centres of Excellence in Screening (Discover Assist) and cell
Technologies (GE) are up and running- Biomarkers next
