Biobanking and Biomarker


needs
Human specimen-based Research (Oncology / Gynecological Therapies,
☑
Cardiovascular)
Two lines of pharmaceutical research build upon access to human specimens, target identification and validation, and
biomarker validation and qualification. E. g. in oncology, comparing the expression profile of a diseased tissue with that
of a normal adjacent sample might lead to novel ideas for a targeted therapy. Comparing the protein content of a tissue
sample with a peripheral blood sample in ELISA measurements might lead to less invasive diagnostic possibilities, i. e.
biomarker validation (there is much lower interest in techniques for identifying biomarkers).
As a research-based pharmaceutical company, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals is aware of the ethical issues inherent
to this kind of research and is collaborating with clinicians who are key opinion leaders in their field employing best
practice (e. g., asking for IRB vote and patients' informed consent). A win-win situation exists where we are accepted as
scientific research partner, e. g. offering access to analytical measurements for joint, peer-reviewed publications.
Focus of external search is on scientific collaborations for

TechOffers SCOUTING (TS) – presentation available upon request
TECHNOLOGY

Standardization of TechOffers (content / data / info / format)

Prerequisite – all data and information non-confidential
1. Summary of mode of action, target or new pathway/mechanism in the
context of relevant indication
2. Summary of the most important biology/pharmacology data including
the status of the in vivo efficacy profile
3. Information about type of opportunity – NCE/NBE vs method/assay vs
technology (drug delivery, formulation etc)
4. If NCE/NBE overview on compound profiling status (DMPK, CMC, Tox,
Gen Pharm)
5. IP – status and owner of patent applications
6. Further information – citation of relevant publications, patents, or links


TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER – proposal for standardized
TechOffers SCOUTING (TS) – presentation available upon request
TECHNOLOGY

Standardization of TechOffers (content / data / info / format)
Additional points to consider for TechTransfer – at a later stage
1. Business model
a) License model for Foreground IP (created during collaboration):
university to own with NERF (non-exclusive royalty free) license to
sponsor + option for exclusivity to sponsor OR all to sponsor with license?
b) License model for Background IP: milestones, option for exclusivity?
2. Payment for development activities: effort (man hours, consumables etc)
or fixed package? Milestone based?
3. Insight into cost structure (separating actual cost from overhead)

Points for discussion:
1. Proposal of technology transfer portal (communication platform) with
standardized and up to date opportunities
2. Proposal on harmonizing technology transfer by using the existing
PVA´s per state with respective professional skills and education
3. Improvement of skills by continues training of technology transfer
professions at academia and institutes
4. Start dialogue with academic partners on TT optimization on both ends


TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER – additional thoughts from
pharma colleagues
TECHNOLOGY SCOUTING (TS) – presentation available upon request

Standardization of TechTransfer (content / data / info / format)

Create market place
the place to look to get away from “accidental” identification of opportunities
Harmonization is also
the “management of expectations” at both ends

Skill set
Besides the “jack of all trades device” for BAT IIa we wish the following:

Non dogmatic, pragmatic personality (tough to train, but very important)

Excellent negotiation skills (Harvard Business School training or equivalent)
●Sound understanding of pharmaceutical development processes
●Understanding of work in a highly regulated environment (GLP, GMP, GCP etc.)
●Sound understanding of IP principles including “Employee Inventions Act”
●Basics of “Contracting” & Legal language


TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER – current status

Meeting held with TT managers from academia 21st Sep 2011

These "areas of improvement„ (worked out from a pharma perspective) were
presented at a meeting with academic patent commercialization agencies
(4. Treffen der Arbeitsgruppe Technologietransfer) on Wednesday, 21st of
September 2011 in Mannheim.
This initiative to improve Tech Transfer between academia and industry was very
much appreciated by all participants.

Joint meeting with managers from academia and industry 17th of Nov 2011

Due to the success of the Mannheim meeting and the importance of this topic,
attendees asked to organize another exchange forum for academia and industry to
intensify and improve Tech Transfer .
This meeting was held on the 17th of at Bayer in Düsseldorf. Besides colleagues from
Bayer, BI, Merck, and Novartis, essentially ALL German patent commercialization
agencies attended. This was judged as indicator for the importance of tis initiative.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER – next steps


Next meeting with EuKTS planned for 7th Mar 2012 in Mnunich

As an important next step we have planned discussions with BMBF (Federal
Ministry of Education and Research) to ensure a specific pharma TechTransfer
curriculum and its region wide establishment.

Also it is planned to closely interact with the European Knowledge Society (EuKTS)
to harmonize all efforts and bring the TechTransfer initiative on a European level.

A meeting with industry representatives from the TechTransfer initiative and
academic representatives from the German patent commercialization agencies will
be held on 7th of March in Munich. Here we will discuss a joint strategy with
representatives from EuKTS.

Feedback from Our Academic Partners
Prof. Otmar D. Wiestler, Scientific Director of DKFZ, Heidelberg,
Germany:
“Bayer HealthCare is an ideal partner for German Cancer Research Center because
it is committed to pursue innovative therapeutic concepts and invest in high-risk
ideas. We experience Bayer HealthCare as a reliable, highly competent partner with
an open mindset. Our alliance clearly generates a win-win situation and can serve as
a model for public-private partnerships in the biomedical field.”
Prof. Wang, Moores UCSD Cancer Center, La Jolla,
USA: are two advantages in the G4T program. The first being the speed with which
“There
the grant is funded. The second being the potential of further collaboration in the
future to advance the common research interests between my laboratory and
Bayer AG.”
Prof. Multhaup, Free University of Berlin,
Germany:
“We have experienced an excellent support by Bayer HealthCare Scientists and have
had encouraging discussions.”


Feedback from Our Biotech Partners
Paul Hastings, President and CEO, OncoMed
Pharmaceuticals
“We have greatly enjoyed working with Bayer on our Wnt Pathway partnership, which
was forged in June 2010. The collaborative spirit of the interactions has resulted in
significant R&D progress, including our first antibody in the pathway (OMP-18R5)
advancing to clinical testing earlier this year, and significant progress on our 2nd
biologic program and small molecule discovery efforts. This is a great example of how
biotech and pharma companies can bring the best of their respective talents to
advance innovation.”
Jens Hennecke, Ph.D., SVP, Business Development,
Micromet
“Our collaboration with Bayer is built on trust and a shared desire to utilize the skills
and strengths of both organizations to develop a new therapy for prostate cancer. We
view Bayer to be an ideal partner on account of its expertise in oncology, shared
conviction in the promise of our technology, excellent collaborative spirit and ability to
aggressively advance a product through development and onto the market. We are
very pleased with the rapid progress achieved so far under this collaboration since its
inception in 2009 and look forward to continuing to work together to ultimately treat
cancer patients with BAY2010112 / MT112.”
