SPARK Norway Educational Forum: Repurposing

Repurposing of drugs can potentially bring medications with known safety profiles to new patient groups. What is the industry looking for when they consider to invest in a repurposing project? What is the regulatory framework in this area? How is IP handled?

The meeting is part of the SPARK Norway Educational Forum Series 3: Therapeutics and diagnostics – monthly open meetings organized by UiO:Life Science and SPARK Norway partners.

The questions above are among the questions that will be addressed in this seminar.
