The medicines industry is in a period of change. While small molecule therapeutics still make up 90% of approved medicines, patient expectations are driving the industry towards targeted, precision treatments, which require a shift towards stratified, complex medicines with more challenging discovery and development needs.

Here experts describe how to establish preclinical safety and efficacy data for complex medicines and how this compares with conventional drug discovery.
