The Top 35 Central Nervous System Drug Delivery Technology Companies Worldwide

Author: The scientific advisor on this report was Katie Ryan.

Katie has advanced degrees in physiology and medicine from Trinity College Dublin and is currently undertaking research in the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience. Her main research interest is the use of Noradrenaline as a novel strategy to combat the neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration associated with conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

The modern history of drug delivery started with the founding of ALZA Corporation in 1968 by Dr. Alejandro Zaffaroni. His vision was to develop therapeutic systems that delivered drugs at controlled rates to the patient at the right site and right time. The impact of this approach in the field of medicine has been profound and its impact on the pharmaceutical business showed that major products could be produced in less time and for a smaller investment than a new chemical entity could.

The human brain is the single most common origin of illness, with 2 billion people

worldwide suffering from brain-related disease, causing an economic burden of $2 trillion a year. For the majority of patients no treatment exists or they are poorly treated by currently available therapies. Responding to this unmet medical need, the CNS disorders market became one of the largest and fastest growing markets in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2007, neuropharmaceutical companies alone generated $109 billion in revenues and looked forward to 8% annual growth.
