20 The Role of Universities

21 Domestic Research, Outsourced Drug Rights  Universities receive funding through grants and awards. http://community.elevatorup.com/ok wu/images/money%203.jpg http://www.diginovations.com/storag e/images/video-award-shelf.jpg

25 What Can Be Improved? Implications for Developing Countries and Accessible Global Health  AUTM’s 9th point  Universities should use research money for neglected diseases  Ensure that underprivileged populations have access to these medicines http://www.borgenproject.org/sitebuilder/im ages/Africa_poverty-383x480.png

26 What Can Be Improved? Implications for Developing Countries and Accessible Global Health  Organizations that promote point #9:  Technology Managers for Global Health  Universities Allied for Essential Medicines http://uaem.berkel ey.edu/image005.j pg www.ghatm.com

27 Role of Non-profit Companies (not an oxymoron anymore!)  Benefits of non-profit pharmaceutical companies  R&D team http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/full/24/4/1057

30 Non-profit Example: Carolina Vaccine Institute http://www.med.unc.edu/cvi/  Develops vaccines for neglected diseases for developing countries

31 Non-profit Example: Carolina Vaccine Institute http://www.med.unc.edu/cvi/  Develops vaccines for neglected diseases for developing countries  Uses revenue to fund more research

32 Non-profit Example: Carolina Vaccine Institute http://www.med.unc.edu/cvi/  Develops vaccines for neglected diseases for developing countries  Uses revenue to fund more research  An example of universities and non-profits for the promotion of global health

33 From the Lab to the Marketplace Drug Research and Conception FDA Approval (NDA) Clinical Trials, Testing ($$$ and time) Patented Drug (lasts 10-12 years) Availability of Generics BIG PHARMA + GOV’T REVENUE

34 How Universities and Non-profit Companies Fit In Drug Research and Conception FDA Approval (NDA) Clinical Trials, Testing ($$$ and time) Patented Drug (lasts 10-12 years) Availability of Generics BIG PHARMA + GOV’T REVENUE Reduced $$$ and time Production and Distribution REVENUE University Research and Work of TTOs
