what we don’t know:
how to deliver drugs to cells
disease mechanisms
toxicity mechanisms
what we don’t know:
how to deliver drugs to cells
disease mechanisms
toxicity mechanisms
it’s a knowledge problem, and thus more
money doesn’t translate to more drugs
drug discovery, development, and approval
the messaging doesn’t help
look, it’s a linear process!
drug discovery, development, and approval
$800,000,000-$1,ooo,000,000 per success
15-17 years
drug discovery, development, and approval
think of the total number of transactions
and how to disaggregate them outside the context of
a massive single corporate entity?
drug discovery, development, and approval
infrastructure needed: legal, technical, social, business
not: “open source biology” a la GPL
drug discovery, development, and approval
“open science” - commons-based, technologically enabled, lots
of small transactions and collaborations
infrastructure to enable the emergence of open innovation
systems in the life sciences
national systems are vastly unequal - the financial barriers to
playing are so high - but that’s changing as the cost of life
sciences research drops
significant collaboration is needed to take life science
innovation to the “next level” - reproducible drug discovery
collaborative innovation is a non-miraculous approach to
increasing the odds of reproducible discovery
legal, technical, and policy elements are required to wrench life
sciences into the network form of collaboration

Knowledge Management Research Tools
moving to a digital infrastructure for publishing
and using knowledge in science
or, why “paper” is the wrong metaphor
the impact of copyrights on innovation in
scientific publishing:
change requires a new legal infrastructure
to encourage collaboration
traits of legal protocols:
legally accurate
simple for scientists
low transaction costs
facilitate interoperability
business friendly

the cost of doing this has dropped to the point that a
non profit can do it and give it away
infrastructure we need:
API to the public domain
“one-click” for research
default rule: the right to hack (tools, data, papers)
non-artisanal contract culture
if we are successful:
more eyes creating more knowledge
less funding of redundant research
use what is known to drive rates of innovation
china, brazil, EU: innovation law (bayh-dole variants)
OECD GBRCN
US massive investment in bio-it at NCBI, NIH
“post-national” in many ways
collaborative incentives, tax credits, letting scientists
patent, private r&d resources, “credit database,” etc.
costs are dropping, and a lot of countries have a chip
on their shoulder: drug prices, developed world focus
the biology “peace dividend”:
we know a lot less about evolved systems like human
bodies than we need, but the technologies we have
built for studying those systems are going to drive
innovation we can’t even imagine
if we can’t deal with the data we create in a classic
drug discovery context, how will we deal with the
data that comes from new sources and user-
generated biology?
