Med, AstraZeneca collaborate

ARABIAN NIGHTS

Penn Med will work to find new therapies for Alzheimer’s and might benefit financially

BY VICTOR GAMEZ Staff Writer A collaborative effort with a global pharmaceutical company could mean big bucks for Penn.

The School of Medicine announced a new research agreement with AstraZeneca to find new therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease in order to “bridge the transition from drug discovery to development,” according to a Penn Med press release on March 18.

John Swartley, senior director of the Center for Technology Transfer, wrote in an e-mail that AstraZeneca will pay the “multi-year costs of the collaborative drug discovery partnership, and may pay additional fees and running royalties to Penn based on suc-

cessful product development milestones and sales.”

He explained that Penn’s percentage of the revenue generated by the pharmaceutical firm depends upon the launch and sale of products.

Director of Penn Med’s Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research Virginia Lee said the school has a history of reaching out to corporations.

Lee explained that AstraZeneca first worked with Penn Med through its Office of Corporate Alliances. AstraZeneca funded Penn neuroscientists through the office for about four years before agreeing to work with the CNDR on Alzheimer’s.

“What’s really unique about

this collaboration is that any drug that results is shared intellectual property,” Lee said.

“We aren’t just contracted to do their science. If they make money off of this collaboration, a certain amount of it would come back to the University.”

Though Penn can do preclinical studies — such as safety and efficacy studies on animals — Lee said at that stage, Penn needs to seek corporate partners to proceed with the study.

“We do not have the resources to bring a drug to market. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars,” Lee said. AstraZeneca , on the other hand, can “scale up production” of any drug discoveries, she added.

However, Lee emphasized that there is still little known about Alzheimer’s , including its variable progression and indicators of its onset in different individuals. “When you become

We want to know when the disease really starts,” she said.

L ee ex pla i ned that the CNDR will try to research earlier indications of the disease, its manifestations in different people and treatments for those who are already diagnosed.

“It’ll be a while — maybe five to 10 years — but the community should be successful” in finding treatment, she said.

FlingSafe apps due Monday

BY RACHEL AU-YONG Staff Writer

To help keep Spring Fling festivities under control, the Social Planning and Events Committee is recruiting 250 student volunteers for this year’s FlingSafe, a student-run program created five years ago to encourage safe decision-making among peers.

Applications for this year’s FlingSafe are due March 29, accessible at specevents.net.

Fling, which falls on April 1617 this year, is associated with intoxicated revelry that has prompted the administration to consider keeping the event out of the Quad in the past. Last year, the Division of Public Safety responded to 24 Fling-related incidents, including 19 hospitalizations, two arrests and three investigations.

FlingSafe volunteers patrol the Quad to ensure student safety before University officials have

FlingSafe volunteers have patrolled the Quad for five years during Spring Fling.

Volunteers aim to help students stay safe without getting them in trouble. to step in. For example, volunteers help out by fetching water or medical aid for inebriated or injured peers.

The program shows that “students can be responsible for their own Fling experience,” College

senior and SPEC President Dasha Barannik said.

Volunteers sign up for twohour work shifts. They receive a free ticket to this year’s concert, a free T-shirt and a chance to win other prizes for their efforts.
