The Best Partnership Alliance (sponsored by INC Research) recognizes the importance of pharmaceutical and/or biotech companies working together to develop new medicines. This year the trophy went to AstraZeneca PLC and Human Longevity Inc. for their long-term genomic partnership which aims to harness the power of genomic information to propel the discovery and development of novel medicines. The companies hope their partnership will drive new drug target and biomarker identification to select patients who can respond to treatment, and believe it could change the way clinical trials are designed.
“The impact on our industry and patient outcomes if this alliance achieves its goals are immeasurable,” the judges said.
Iain Comley Head of Corporate Strategy and Business Development Business developer at AstraZenca and Jey Won Business & Corporate Development at Human Longevity talk to Scrip about their win.
