- Pharma-Transfer
- The Pharma-Transfer Internet database brings together previously
unpublished pharmaceutical research information from all over the world.
Its scope ranges from very early stage,
pre-patented discovery ideas right through to proof of concept at Phase IIa, allowing the
system to encompass ideas and information from academia, private laboratories and
biotechnology groups, as well as from the big pharma companies themselves.
The information is provided in concise abstracts, summarising drug development
programmes and innovations within developing technologies from commercial and academic
research groups worldwide.
Guests to the site can gain limited access, in order to assess the quality and
usefulness of the database. Guests are allowed unlimited access to all areas of the
Pharma-Transfer website,
including full use of its comprehensive search capabilities. However,guests will only
have access to a very limited number of abstracts
By December 2001 it is anticipated that there will be in excess of 32,000 abstracts on the database.
