acmedsci published this video item, entitled “Insights from 40 years in pharmaceutical medicine | Dr Felicity Gabbay FMedSci” – below is their description.
Pharmaceutical medicine is one of the fastest-growing medical specialities in the UK, with ten times more doctors working in this speciality than fifty years ago.
In this short talk, Dr Felicity (Flic) Gabbay, one of the pioneers of the field, talks us through the changes she has seen through her career, as doctors learn ever more about how to take medical knowledge and use this to improve the development of drugs and medicines.
Globally, there are more than 7,000 new medicines in the development pipeline. Ensuring each one is developed and prescribed correctly takes a huge research effort, working across different national regulatory authorities and company environments.
Flic also explains her work as Managing Partner of tranScrip, a specialist pharmaceutical research organisation bringing new medicines to market (usually at least one successful license of an innovative or repurposed treatment per year) and works on ensuring information is updated for continued safe and effective prescribing.
Flic Gabbay has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for four decades and has held a number of senior and CEO positions in big pharma, biotech and CROs in both Europe and North America. She has extensive experience of working on the development, submission and launches of products in infection, respiratory disease, arthritis, immunology, chronic kidney disease and oncology.
She gave this presentation as part of the Academy of Medical Sciences New Fellow’s Admissions Day 2021, held virtually in July 2021.
