Pharmacodynamic Assays to Facilitate Pre-clinical and Clinical Development of Pre-mRNA Splicing Modulatory Drug Candidates
We describe two types of novel pharmacodynamic assays that facilitate drug discovery and development of this intriguing class of innovative therapeutics; the first assay is useful for preclinical optimization of small-molecule agents that target the SF3B1 spliceosomal protein in animals, the second assay is an ex vivo validated, gel-based assay for the measurement of drug exposure…

Leveraging Free Zones as Centers of Innovation
Free zones are geographic government-designated zones where business, trade, and tax laws differ from the rest of the country. Known also as free economic zones, special economic zones, or free ports, depending on their structure and purpose, they provide incentives such as abated taxes and fewer regulations to encourage overseas companies to set up local…
