DESCRIPTION

The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center ("Center") is a quasi-public agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, created by the Massachusetts legislature in June 2006. The MLSC is closely affiliated with the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development but is not subject to its direct supervision or control. The Center was established to promote the life sciences within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is tasked with investing in life sciences research and economic development. This work includes making financial investments in public and private institutions growing life sciences research, development and commercialization as well as building ties between sectors of the Massachusetts life sciences community.

Why is Massachusetts So Successful in Life Sciences?

Life sciences innovation thrives in

Massachusetts because of the great

concentration of universities, research hospitals, educated

workers, entrepreneurs, mature companies and a

strong investment community.

“Big Pharma” Faces Significant Challenges

Drug pipelines are running dry

Many “blockbuster medicines” are about to lose patent protection

Traditional drug-development processes at big pharma are expensive and inefficient Models have not changed significantly from the late nineteenth century

-- synthesize and screen thousands of compounds in search of a few new drug candidates

The traditional business model at big pharma also is expensive and inefficient: Identify promising new blockbuster drugs Conduct large, expensive clinical trials If successful, promote the drugs with extensive marketing and sales

presence in developed countries

Page 12: Massachusetts Life Sciences Center

12

Manifestations of the Problem

Internally developed pipeline productivity at big pharma has decreased significantly -- averaging one new molecular entity a year per company

…And…

The cost of bringing a new drug to market has continued to rise -- currently estimated to exceed $1 billion

……But……

The timeline for developing and getting a drug to market has not declined -- can take as long as 15 years

The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center: Who We Are and What We Do

Mission:

Serve as the “hub” of the Massachusetts life sciences Supercluster

Encourage innovation through investments in good science and good business

Strengthen and protect Massachusetts’ global leadership position in the life sciences

Accelerate the commercialization of promising treatments, therapies and cures

Create jobs and drive economic development

The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center develops and offers creative programs that fund innovation-driven economic development initiatives in the Massachusetts life sciences cluster, but also may have relevance for other “innovation” sectors.

Discovery Development Delivery

The MLSC Strategy:Fund targeted initiatives that reduces barriers, fill gaps and promote

collaboration across the life sciences innovation process. Enable MA to “innovate how innovation occurs!”

• Promote and fund convening and collaboration• Partner with and leverage private sector stakeholders• Invest in early stage companies (pipeline and external innovation)• Support workforce development and training • Build capacity, infrastructure and unique resources in Massachusetts

The MLSC’s Overall Strategy is to Invest in Gap Closure Across the Innovation Life Cycle...

MLSC Neuroscience Consortium (launched June 2012)

Objective: Create a pioneering new model of collaboration designed to leverage Massachusetts’ rich neuroscience environment to:

Accelerate pre-clinical research available to the pharmaceutical industry Introduce academic researchers to targeted research Facilitate new models of industry-academic partnership

Massachusetts’ basic neuroscience, translational, and clinical research distributed across more than a dozen world-renowned institutions amounts to what may be the highest density of neuroscience research in the world.

Neuroscience Consortium Charter members:

First Solicitation for Proposals was Released September 24, 2012. Nearly 100 proposals received!!

International Pre-Commercialization Program

Objectives: Promote and motivate collaboration

between life sciences companies in Massachusetts and other countries

Facilitate partnerships between companies in Massachusetts and other countries to execute exciting new projects

Provide joint funding to subsidize the costs and accelerate the execution of these projects

Approach:

Partner agencies with funding and scientific review authority implement the collaboration with the MLSC

Competitive solicitation used to select the most promising project(s) proposed by teams consisting of a Massachusetts-based and non-U.S. based company

Program focuses on collaborative life sciences projects in late R&D or development

Participating companies must each articulate their role in executing the proposed project

Massachusetts companies will receive funding from the MLSC; international company will be funded by relevant Partner agency

Each of the participating companies will provide matching funds

Objective: Promote late stage industry R&D collaborations between a Massachusetts company and an international company with joint funding provided by the MLSC and an international partnering agency

International Partnership Assistance Portal (IP-ap)

Objective: Make it easier for international companies to identify and pursue potential partnerships with Massachusetts companies.

Massachusetts is open for collaboration: 24/7, 365 days a year.

Free, password-protected, cloud-based portal -- Create your user profile at https://partnering.masslifesciences.com

Open to MA-based life sciences companies and international life sciences companies

Companies describe their business and qualities they are seeking in a partner

Searchable database - MA companies can search MA and international companies, and international companies can search MA companies
