European Respiratory Society: Speeding up the development of new treatment by removing barriers to progress.
Research into new drugs & other treatments is very slow. This video explorers ways we may speed that up’ Prof. Peter Barnes presents this latest instalment of ERS Vision. The film looks at ways to break down the barriers that obstruct and delay the development of new medicines at every stage of the discovery process. Leading experts in the field tackle issues such as data protection, risk management, protocol development and European regulations, and emphasise the importance of developing active collaborations between the different stakeholders involved in the drug development process.

“With every breath you take, you are inhaling a potentially deadly pathogen. You can’t see this parasite floating into your nostrils and weaving its way down into your lungs. You probably breathe many of them right back out again, but some stick with every breath. If you’re a healthy non-smoker, have no fear, your immune system has an excellent chance of destroying the invaders before they can make you sick. If your lungs or immune system are compromised, you still have an excellent chance of escaping these frequent attacks unscathed. But, for the unlucky few among us, the fungal pathogen Aspergillus might just win. Let’s take a closer look and see what we could be in for.”
