One of the major shortcomings of the current drug discovery and
development process is the inability to bridge the gap between
early stage discoveries and pre-clinical research to advance
innovations beyond the discovery phase. This book examines a novel
drug discovery and development model where the respective expertise
of academia and industry are brought together to take promising
discoveries through to proof of concept as a way to de-risk the
drug discovery and development process. Expert author Helen Yu
explores integrated drug discovery by analyzing the intersection of
intellectual property law and competition law and discusses the
role of stakeholders in efficient translation and commercialization
of publically funded research. Considering the transactional risks
associated with drug discovery and development, this book advocates
for a greater emphasis on contractual freedom and economic
efficiency when assessing collaborative partnerships between
industry and public research organizations. This standout book
bridges the gap between theoretical research and legal practice by
providing a research-based applied perspective on
university-industry collaborations in drug discovery and
development. Achieving Proof of Concept in Drug Discovery and
Development has an international appeal, especially in countries
actively involved in drug discovery and development, such as the
United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Japan,
India and China. Organizations and associations in the drug
discovery and development field would likely be interested in
reading a book that provides a research-based applied perspective
as well.

In this book, Helen Yu-Rivera challenges the conventional use of
written documents in delineating the course of Philippines-Japan
relations. Using editorial cartoons, the author proves that
pictorial documents are potentially as rich in information as
written documents. This book highlights the perspective of the
popular press instead of the commonly solicited viewpoints of
policy makers. More importantly, the author reads the editorial
cartoons as symbolic language where images and text reveal more
than what they signify at a cursory glance. By so doing, the author
has identified, interpreted, and analyzed different levels of
synthesis used to represent the Japanese in Philippine editorial
cartoons of this period. While many of the symbols used were
reflective of the inherent tensions in Philippines-Japan relations,
factors such as conventions of the medium of cartooning, individual
styles, and personal interpretation also significantly affected the
occurrence, change, and continuity of the images.
