The very first London Science Festival has been taking place since last week and on Tuesday night we attended the Science Question Time event at King’s College London where discussion was focused on the future of drugs.
Some of the topics discussed were the role of open innovation in new drug discovery, the economics of drug development and usage, personalised medicine and cognitive enhancing drugs.

Do let us know if there is anything missing as we will be continuing to update the storyboard as and when more coverage appears.
In the meantime, make sure you check out our other reports from the London Science Festival including David Willetts’ lecture on science in the UK, a unique tour of the Museum of Life Sciences at King’s College and a special viewing of the film Inception.
