Daiichi Sankyo has inked two deals to tap into academic expertise in early-stage drug discovery. The Japanese firm will work with Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute to develop cardiovascular and metabolic disease drugs. Under the three-year pact, the two will identify and validate drug targets; later, each side will conduct screens for molecules that modulate those targets. In a separate deal, Daiichi has partnered with MRC Technology, which handles technology transfer for nonprofits, to identify drug targets that could be developed into oncology, cardiovascular, and metabolic disease treatments.
