Bioscience - Lost in Translation?: How precision medicine closes the innovation gap

Autor Richard Barker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2016

Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Bioscience - Lost in Translation? abordează o problemă sistemică adesea ignorată în literatura de specialitate: ineficiența transformării descoperirilor de laborator în soluții clinice sustenabile. Subliniem faptul că această lucrare completează volumul Translational Medicine de James Mittra prin accentul pus pe soluții pragmatice de politici publice și pe ecosistemul de business necesar, trecând dincolo de simpla explorare conceptuală a domeniului. În timp ce alte manuale de referință se concentrează pe mecanismele moleculare ale inovației, Richard Barker propune o viziune clinică și economică asupra modului în care medicina de precizie poate închide „decalajul de inovație”. Suntem de părere că expertiza autorului, care a activat în industriile farmaceutică și de diagnostic, oferă textului o rigoare practică rară. Analiza sa nu se limitează la teorie; el investighează blocajele specifice din cercetarea demenței și a rezistenței la antibiotice, contrastându-le cu succesele remarcabile obținute în tratamentul HIV și oncologia personalizată. Această abordare continuă direcția începută de autor în 2030 - The Future of Medicine, unde explora viitorul sistemelor de sănătate, însă aici focalizarea este strictă pe procesul de translație. Stilul este precis, academic dar accesibil, integrând concepte de genomică și digital health într-o strategie coerentă pentru revitalizarea productivității în științele vieții. Este o lectură esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care inovația poate fi recalibrată pentru a servi cu adevărat sănătatea publică în secolul XXI.

Despre autor

Richard Barker este o figură proeminentă în managementul și economia sănătății, fiind lector senior la Judge Business School (Universitatea Cambridge) și profesor vizitator la Said Business School (Universitatea Oxford). Cu o carieră vastă ce cuprinde sectoarele farmaceutic, de diagnostic și informatică medicală, Barker a fost recunoscut pentru excelența sa pedagogică prin premii prestigioase precum Pilkington Teaching Prize. Expertiza sa interdisciplinară se reflectă în lucrări ce variază de la strategii de business sustenabil la prognoze tehnologice în medicină, poziționându-l ca un expert cheie în modelarea viitorului sistemelor de sănătate globale.


Descriere

Medical innovation as it stands today is fundamentally unsustainable. There is a widening gap between what biomedical research promises and the impact that it is currently achieving, in terms of patient benefit and health system improvement.This book highlights the global problem of the ineffective translation of bioscience innovation into health system improvements and its consequences, analyses the underlying causative factors and provides powerful prescriptions for change to close the gap. It contrasts the progress in biomedicine with other areas of scientific and technological endeavour, such as information technology, in which there are faster and more reliable returns for society.The author's career has spanned pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and health informatics and he draws lessons from a host of case examples in which bottlenecks have prevented progress, such as in dementia and antibiotic-resistant infections, and from many in which these barriers have been overcome, such as HIV therapy and targeted cancer treatment. The new era of precision medicine holds the greatest promise of closing this 'innovation gap'. Along with techniques such as open innovation and adaptive development, powerful new genomics and digital health tools are poised to transform the productivity of life sciences.Bioscience-Lost in Translation? lays out a fresh and provocative strategy for advancing the innovation process, shaping the right policy environment and building an ecosystem to deliver the 21st century cures that are urgently needed.

Recenzii

Advance Praise: It is not easy to keep up with the rapid pace of biomedical innovation nor changes in society and markets. This book captures exactly where we are right now: an unprecedented wave of innovation that arrives in health systems that are not prepared. And neither is the business model of the pharmaceutical industry.
Advance Praise: This is a timely and provocative analysis. It is crucially important that researchers, clinicians, industry, and regulators adapt effectively to the new era of stratified medicine. This book is a welcome contribution to the debate.
Advance Praise: Richard Barker presents a provocative and thoughtful review of the health care ecosystem, demonstrating time and again that communication and collaboration across the stakeholder community are essential to realizing patient benefits from biomedical innovation.
Advance Praise: Richard Barker, drawing on a quarter of a century of deep practical involvement in the topic, has written an invaluable synthesis of the factors that account for the disappointing rate of translation of science into affordable treatments to address unmet clinical need. Crucial will be forging of transparent productive relationships between academia, industry and an enlightened regulatory system. Essential reading for all those interested in making the medical innovation process faster, more productive and sustainable.
Advance Praise: Concisely frames the rich, dynamic environment for biologic/medical science with all the opportunities and challenges and offers orderly, thoughtful, practical approaches and solutions to facilitate and optimize medical innovation science. This book is suitable for both the knowledgeable scientific and the interested lay communities.
Advance Praise: This book provides an overview and in-depth analysis of medical science, drug development, etc., along with recommendations that are impressive. Amazing to say the least.
Advance Praise: This is an important and timely book. Richard Barker comprehensively reviews current progress, but perhaps more importantly points out encouraging paths of translation as we move forward. In doing so, he provides a comprehensive scientific and socio-cultural rationale and basis for closing the collaboration gap, for bridging scientific advances, new product development and evaluation, and clinical care.
