We dedicate this book to our SPARKees—
Stanford faculty, postgraduate fellows, and
students who have stepped beyond the
connes of traditional academia to embrace
the challenges of drug discovery and
development. We are inspired by your efforts
to translate your discoveries into new
treatments that will benet patients, and we
have learned a great deal from each of you.

Preface

Our intention in writing and updating this volume, A Practical Guide to Drug
Development in Academia: The SPARK Approach, was not to generate a compre-
hensive “how to” book; this topic cannot be taught in 282 pages. Rather, this volume
addresses requests from our own SPARKees as well as from other academic institu-
tions that have established or are planning to establish their own translational
research programs. This book provides only a few pages on each topic that are part
of the long process of drug development. The book is intended for novices who
embark on this amazing path of translating basic research or clinical ndings into
new therapeutics or diagnostics to benet patients. Ideally, you will read this book
before you begin your translational effort, so that you will understand the path
ahead—starting with the end in mind; planning what the nal product will be (“tar-
get product prole” in industry lingo); and then creating a path back to where the
project is today—doing it the industry way, with our own academic twist. This book
should also be useful for students and postdoctoral fellows who plan to begin their
career in the biopharmaceutical industry or who hope that their academic career will
be translational in nature.
SPARK at Stanford is now in its 17th year. The program evolved slowly. We have
found a certain formula that works well for our academic inventors and we hope that
it will work for you as well. This book was written mainly by our SPARK mentors—
the true engine behind the success of the program. It is not a complete guide to what
needs to be done, but provides a general overview of the important topics in the
development process.
Drug development is an applied science with a concrete goal in mind. It is also
highly challenging, and academia can greatly help in this effort; not only through
our inventions, but also by rethinking the drug and diagnostic development process,
so that success rates will be higher and approval of the interventions will be faster.
Successful implementation of a translational research program requires securing
experts in multiple disciplines (chemistry, biology, pharmacology, toxicology,
medicine, regulatory science, statistics, and many more). Therefore, in addition to
covering some key issues in each topic, we peppered the chapters with lessons that
surprised us along our journey through biotechnology entrepreneurship. With these,
we hope to demonstrate how drug development is not necessarily intuitive. You will
nd these in boxed text throughout the chapters.
viii
After working on my own translational research projects and mentoring over six
dozen other academic projects, I can summarize the following key lessons that I
have learned.
1. Check your ego at the door—drug discovery is not about any one person; it is a
true team effort, requiring experts in multiple disciplines. The weakest link is
standing between you and a total failure.
2. Consult, consult, consult—there is always someone who knows much more than
you about what is needed (preferably more than one person). Find these
individuals and get their advice.
3. Always continue to apply your own judgment, as even experienced advisors can
be wrong.
As the editors of this volume, Kevin Grimes and I hope that you will nd it useful
in your endeavor.
And now—let’s SPARK.
