DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ac3040/immuneinflammator) has
announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc.'s new report
"Immune/Inflammatory Disease: Early-Stage R&D Technologies and Dealmaking" to
their offering. 

Today's leading autoimmune/inflammatory disease drugs are blockbusters, but what
are the remaining unmet needs and next opportunities? Dealmaking patterns
indicate that Big Pharma continues to look to small technology companies to tap
opportunities to treat underserved diseases and offer improved administration
options. While the value of the novel agents in development remains unproved,
early stage platforms and pipelines house the next innovations in these disease
states. 

Get the Answers You Need to Shape Your Strategy

* Although efficacious, current therapies for inflammatory and autoimmune
diseases do not successfully treat all patients. What novel mechanisms of action
are in development? What technologies offer treatment potential? 
* Much of the innovation in drug discovery and design occurs in small companies.
What companies are developing novel approaches to treat infl ammatory diseases?
What collaborations have they forged with Big Pharma? 
* Although the inflammatory cascade is central to most of the autoimmune
diseases, the specific etiology of many diseases remains unknown. What are
companies doing to further the understanding of these diseases?
