Mission statement • Austrian biomedical research institutions intend to assume leadership within the IMI. This will be achieved by a double-pronged strategy: • Positioning and developing of core competences of Austrian research institutions in predictive pharmaco-toxicology. • Proposal to EC of a framework and roadmap of the ECDS as an integrated network by identifying appropriate partners with complementary expertise and by defining their interfaces. • This strategy will enable Austrian researchers to make a valuable contribution to the enhancement of European competitiveness in drug development and to benefit from increased networking and acquisition of funding.
Potential additional benefits • Hosting the headquarter of the ECDS • Increased public awareness at national and European levels • Improved training possibilities and better qualified personnel • Fostering existing and future PPPs and academia-industry partnerships in Austria
Core competences in predictive pharmaco-toxicology • Expertise • Liver pathology and biology • Toxicology • Technology • Drug proteomics (off-target effects) • Tissomics (biomarkers) • Metabolomics (biomarkers) • In silico models • Assets • Biobank (biomarkers)
Next steps • Internal • Summary of discussion (Zatloukal) • National • Funding for consortium formation (BM:BWK, FFG, ABI, RFT) (Herlitschka) • Mouse models (Müller) • Metabolomics (Biocrates) • International • EMEA (Eichler) • Pharmacovigilance (Eichler) • In silico (e.g. Astex; Superti-Furga, Tripos; Hecht, IMGuS; Zatloukal, Gramatica; Schulte-Hermann) • CYPs (Wolf; Schulte-Hermann) • EFPIA • EU
