The clinical pharmacist in drug research and development. An academic-industrial center.
The center for Pharmacodynamic Research represents a novel approach to academic-industrial research agreements that may be a useful model for others to pursue. It is designed to take advantage of the strengths of the company and the university in order to enhance the research conducted and to provide benefits to both. At the same time, it takes into account the responsibility of the university to provide graduate education and the need of industry for scientists in the future. The center was only recently established, however, and must be considered work in progress. Although it has been successful to this point, its value will only be established by longevity and productivity. We have every confidence that it will prove to be a valuable experiment.
