CADRe – Drug Repurposing in the UK
Date: 11 May 2017
Workshop Leader: Dr Farhat Khanin
|
|
Drug repurposing, also known as drug redeployment, re-profiling or repositioning, is the use of existing drugs for a new indication. This drug development pipeline has generated significant impact in the form of new therapies, especially in areas of unmet need eg, rare diseases and diseases of low and middle-income countries (LMIC) that are generally low priority areas for the pharmaceutical industry.
|
|
CADRe, the Centre for Accelerated Drug Redeployment, aims to provide a complete package of expertise and facilities to accelerate the drug repurposing pipeline delivering clinical impact both in high income countries and also in LMIC.
|
|
This workshop seeks to develop the University of Birmingham research collaborations and relationships with stakeholders in support of a national Drug Repurposing network.

Reception in a Digital Age
Date: 18 May 2017
Workshop Leader: Dr Erin Sullivan
|
|
Digital connectivity is radically reshaping how we engage with culture in the 21st century. Whether it’s the books we read, the music we listen to, the theatre we see, or the people we interact with, new technologies are remapping the way we access, consume, create, and share cultural experience. This one-day workshop will explore the impact such changes are having on the study of reception across the humanities and social sciences.
