CyteVice Alvin Dabhi Aditya Sai 5/1/2013 “Discover the discovery”
2
The Opportunity Fatty liver diseases have been linked to diabetes and obesity; affect 6 million people in the US and approximately 10-20% of Americans have significant liver fat content Global drug discovery market was $41.4 billion in 2012, with high throughput screening comprising approximately 30% of the market; this equates to a $1.3 billion market segment to be tapped within the fatty liver drug market A potential drug costs between $55 million to $1.3 billion to bring to market; contracting the drug discovery phase will save time and money for companies Discovery (5 years) Preclinical (2 years) Clinical (6 years) Marketing
