Introduction
Domestic pharmaceutical companies have recently been continuing to do R&D (Research and Development)
in order to develop global drugs moving away from the focus on generic drugs.
When viewing how pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs,
candidate materials should be sought and clinical trial phases 1 to 3 should be passed through
after undergoing pre-clinical trials – animal testing.
However, development of new pharmaceuticals ceases intermittently, as drugs that have worked
in the pre-clinical trials fail to have an effect on the human clinical trials. It is just as important
how effective drugs could be in humans.
If the effects of drugs can be identified at the cellular level of human tissues, costs and time
for clinical trials can be saved. Hence, at the pre-clinical stage or before clinical trial, active researches
into the effects of drugs using tissue chips or organoids have lately been proceeding
in the global markets including Europe.
A tissue chip or organoid is a three-dimensional structure that has similar structure or functions
to miniature body parts made from stem cells in order to ensure a minimum function.
In Korea, however, tissue chips and organoids have never been applied in actual clinical trials.
Even domestic pharmaceutical companies urgently need to introduce the platform technology
for new drug development so as to stand as a global pharmaceutical company.
At the upcoming 11th Seoul International New Pharmaceuticals Forum, we will find out
how tissue chips and organoids will be applied in the clinical trials and help develop new drugs.
Prof. Christopher Hughes from University of California, Irvine, an expert of tissue chips,
will give a keynote speech. Prof. Koo, Bon Kyoung from IMBA, Austria and Dr. Jeong, Ga Young
from GSK will give a lecture on the organoid field and the real applications of organoids respectively.
