Drug Repurposing and Repositioning. Workshop Summary. Held in Washington, DC on June 24, 2013

摘要

Drug development can be time-consuming and expensive. Recent estimates suggest that, on average, it takes 10 years and at least $1 billion to bring a drug to market. Given the time and expense of developing drugs de novo, pharmaceutical companies have become increasingly interested in finding new uses for existing drugs (a process referred to as drug repurposing or repositioning).
