Funded Activity Summary

A Century of Drugs: Science, Medicine, and Industry in the Development of Pharmaceuticals. This project explores collaborations between life scientists, physicians, and industrialists in the discovery of six major new drugs, between the 1890s and 1990s. The aim is to develop a primary source-based history, and two books as well as other writings communicating findings, on the mutual influences between academic life science, medicine, and the drug industry that have flowed from such collaborations. This history will provide fundamental insights into the relationship between biological knowledge and medical practice, and the social and intellectual consequences of the pharmaceutical industry's involvement with both clinical research and biological science.
