How innovative drugs for rare diseases are developed

"Thank you for my life!" The man who says this to Nicole Schlautmann should, statistically speaking, already be dead. The fact that he can still report on his health progress is largely due to an innovative drug that was developed shortly before. It is moments like this that drive the biology graduate. Today, she holds an executive position at the international pharmaceutical company Pfizer, where she contributes her passion for the "rare" as Managing Director in Austria.

How does knowledge come into effect?

"We take care of the process of how knowledge comes into effect," says Christopher Baum, summarizing the mission of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH). In order to bring new findings quickly into application, he says, it is essential to "go beyond the boundaries of one's own laboratory." Well-coordinated collaboration allows necessary steps to be worked through in parallel. Baum is convinced that this can shorten the development of new therapies by years. This is why it is not possible without broad alliances that also bring industry on board in good time.
