good attendance at the themed industry workshop on oncology and angiogenesis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thursday 18th May 2017<\/p>\n

Biological Sciences held its first themed workshop on industrial collaborations on Thursday 18th May. These workshops\u00a0aim to inform academic staff about the advantages of working with\u00a0industry and to provide an opportunity to network with industrial partners. Claire Clarkin, Associate Professor in Developmental Biology and\u00a0Enterprise fellow of BioSci\u00a0took on the task of organising the first themed workshop on oncology and angiogenesis. Invited speakers included Dr Christian Klein,\u00a0\u00a0Head of Oncology Programs at Roche<\/span><\/strong><\/em> in Zurich, Switzerland, Dr Ann White, Senior Principle Scientist at UCB,<\/strong><\/em> Slough, and Prof Mark Cragg, Professor in Experimental Cancer Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Univeristy of Southampton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian Klein,\u00a0\u00a0gave an overview of the\u00a0departments at Roche (oncology, neuroscience, ophthalmology, infectious diseases, immunology\/inflammation and rare diseases)\u00a0and emphasized that\u00a0working\u00a0\u00a0with\u00a0Universities is\u00a0highly valued at\u00a0Roche and requires scientific value, patient focus and a strong collaborative approach.<\/p>\n

Christian used his collaboration with Mark Cragg as a good example of a successful partnership \u00a0which includes joint publications, an iCASE award, co-organising\u00a0a Keystone meeting\u00a0and knowledge transfer.<\/p>\n

Professor Mark Cragg said: ”Our industrial collaboration really started around 5 years ago, and most interactions have lead to further developments. The advantages of working with industrial partners includes access to advanced technologies and large scale production, access to novel targets and drugs, and securing funding for projects that are more translational and\/or \u00a0commercial than charity and research council funded projects”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Dr
Dr Ann White, UCB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ann White, from UCB,\u00a0\u00a0provided an overview of UCB’s structure, a global pharmaceutical company based in Belgium and the UK. Academic collaborations are\u00a0an important part of UCB’s strategy with\u00a0 a number of ways to interact, including CASE studentships and research collaborations, but also an antibody screening service that can be accessed.<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by 15 academics, from PhD student to principle investigator, who pitched their research interest in the ‘who am I and why am I<\/strong> here<\/strong>‘ session. A perfect way to make the first step in building networks, which could be further developed over a poster session during the short break.<\/p>\n

Finally Prof Brian Hayden, Associate Dean of Enterprise in FNES, and Chief Scientific Officer at Ilika, shared some useful tips on how to initiate a collaboration with industry and Prof Jessica Teeling, Director of Enterprise in Biological Sciences, presented\u00a0routes to\u00a0funding for Biomedical research, both internal, for example via the recently awarded MRC confidence in concept award and external sources, including research councils, EU\u00a0and UK charities.<\/p>\n

Biological Sciences and the Institute\u00a0for Life Sciences (IfLS) aim to hold two\u00a0themed\u00a0industry workshop per year- Please get in touch (C.Clarkin@soton.ac.uk or J.Teeling@soton.ac.uk) \u00a0if you want to propose a theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
