Reducing attrition in drug discovery through the use of human translational cellular models

SAE Media Group’s 5th Annual Conference
3D Cell Culture
February 09-10, 2022 | Virtual Conference
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3D Cell Culture has gained increasing momentum in the pharmaceutical industry over recent years, with the global 3D Cell Culture market predicted to reach a value of $3.2 Billion by 2027, researchers globally are realising the growing potential of in vitro applications for drug discovery, predictivity and validation, safety and toxicity. 3D Cell Culture technology promises to offer increased translatability in models and reduce the costly rates of drug attrition in the discovery process -- heralding the next major advance in the discovery of pharmaceuticals.

A 3D cell culture is an artificially created environment in which biological cells are permitted to grow or interact with their surroundings in all three dimensions. Unlike 2D environments (e.g., a Petri dish), a 3D cell culture allows cells in vitro to grow in all directions, similar to how they would in vivo. The crux of 3D cell culture is mimicry – how to best replicate the living environment under experimental conditions, to have the best predictive capabilities when testing drugs.
These spatial and physical aspects in 3D cultures affect the signal transduction from the outside to the inside of cells, and ultimately influence gene expression and cellular behaviour – these are especially important factors to consider when testing a new drug.

Wendy Rowan

I started my career at Guy’s Hospital Medical School, before transitioning to industry. I have worked for GSK and its legacy companies for over thirty years. Immunology has been a common theme throughout my career, working on aspects of both innate and adaptive immunity in respiratory and autoimmune diseases. In April 2019, I joined the Novel Human Genetics Research Unit with a focus on using genetics to guide target selection for drug discovery. With the aim of reducing attrition in drug discovery, I have a long standing interest in developing and accessing better human translational models for target validation, lead discovery and candidate selection, including safety assessment and PK/PD profiling.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
