S4.E3. - Champions of Change
I'm Pharmacy Podcast
04/02/24 • 36 min
Here we go on the path of innovation. On this episode, we build on the pathway of innovation to better understand how change occurs, how the spark of a novel discovery can really kick start this journey. We do believe that all good innovation should be grounded in strong science. But how and where does it start? Where does the initial spark come from? How does the scientist see a discovery and select this path? Do they know this from the onset? Has it shaped the questions they ask? Or is it a mere process that occurs as part of good science. Featured Guests: Dr. Molly Shoichet University Professor Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Toronto Dr. Tim Corson, Professor Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto

S2.E4: Perfect Form
I'm Pharmacy Podcast
02/28/22 • 29 min
How do we pick how to introduce the right molecule into the body in the right way? Well, there's a lot of things to consider. How was it absorbed into the body? Where and how is it broken down? What's the size of the molecule? What is it treating? And where do we want it to go? There's lots of different questions to determine the right formulation. So today we explore the magic of formulations. Why is it important? How do we decide from a laundry list of different medications formulations And how do we develop new formulations that haven't yet been developed?
S2.E6: Drug Safety
I'm Pharmacy Podcast

S2.E3: The Big Leap
I'm Pharmacy Podcast
01/27/22 • 41 min
The process of moving from a potential drug molecule to being on the shelf of a pharmacy is a long and winding journey. On average, from the time the molecule is discovered to when it's actually approved by the FDA, it takes 12 to 15 years. More importantly, it costs close to $1 billion to bring a drug to market. It's also estimated that of the 1000s of molecules that are looked at, only a few will make it to clinical development, and following that, only five to six percent will survive and ended up being submitted for regulatory review. So how do we choose the winning horse? On this episode of the I'm Pharmacy Podcast we talk to Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy researchers Professor Micheline Piquette Miller, Professor Raymond Reilly, and Dr. Jennifer Doucet on just what it takes to conduct translational research, and the excitement of seeing one's research leave the lab.
