RESUMO
The 10 years since the mid-1990s have witnessed an unprecedented investment in Drug Discovery driven by both the unraveling of the human genome and the parallel introduction of various high-throughput technologies. During the same period, industry metrics describe a decline in the numbers of new molecular entities launched upon the global pharmaceutical markets. The Society for Medicines Research (SMR) meeting entitled "Addressing the Innovation Gap" brought together a program of expert speakers to comment upon the challenges currently facing the pharmaceutical industry and some of the measures being undertaken to enable future success.

The Society for Medicines Research held a meeting on March 18, 2003, at the National Heart & Lung Institute in London, United Kingdom, to discuss strategies for drug discovery. The meeting began with a history of the origins of drug discovery. Discussions also covered the best strategies for drug discovery, including combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening, and ways to meet the challenge of the so-called "innovation gap," among other topics. Speakers included a Nobel Laureate and discoverer of two of the most significant drug classes of the 20th century, and the greatest drug generator of all time. Various companies and institutions were also represented in the talks.
