We recognise that drug discovery is a larger endeavour that it has a very wide impact on all levels of our society. We truly believe that we should seek to also engage outside the scientific community by reaching out to patient groups, general public, media and policy makers in an inclusive manner to promote a complete revolution in the way new medicines are discovered.
Here are some of our outreach programmes:
