Sections of the Report that previously focused on small molecules havenow been expanded to describe the corresponding processes for biologicals. Toincrease its value even further, the 2007 update features two brand newchapters. The first deals with project management: the fundamentals ofmanaging multidisciplinary teams and the ways in which the role is changingto encompass external as well as internal interfaces. The second concerns thegrowing interest in translational research; the ways in which laboratoryconcepts can be converted into medical advances.
The 234-page update retains all the Report's original sections, givingreaders a firm grounding in all the stages of drug development from drugtarget hunting, lead generation and optimisation through to preclinicalresearch, clinical evaluation and post-marketing surveillance.

TheReport also includes over 60 figures all of which serve to aid the reader'sunderstanding of the issues discussed.
When the first edition of the Report was published in 2003, the impact ofsequencing the human genome was just being felt throughout the industry. Now,in 2007, it is apparent that while providing promise for the future, therewill be no 'quick fix' for the industry and it must pursue an ever widerrange of opportunities to achieve its goals. The result is a networkedindustry without historical parallel.
