Aled Edwards’ vision of science is set to shake the foundation of drug discovery and development as we know it.  

The Director of M4K Pharma and CEO of the Structural Genomics Consortium is leading the charge for a more open scientific approach. It’s a parallel universe where scientists can work together and get therapies designed to treat rare diseases in the hands of patients even faster – one that isn’t bound by patents, siloes, and profits. 

Join Aled as he discusses the “open science” approach, the current state of the pharmaceutical industry, and what the future holds for genetic biology.
