Chapter 596 Difficulties in Making Pharmaceuticals
Seeing that Cen Li spoke so sincerely, Xu Jinghao took a deep breath and said, "You really did the right thing to find me."
After speaking, she briefly introduced the main research directions of the Institute of Materia Medica, Academy of Medical Sciences.
These include anti-tumor drugs, drugs to prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, drugs to treat neuropsychiatric diseases, anti-metabolic disorders drugs, anti-infective drugs, anti-inflammatory and immune drugs, drugs to treat degenerative diseases in the elderly, etc.
Fortunately, depression medications are also included.
After hearing this, Cen Li was overjoyed and said, "That's great. I'll leave this to you. Funding is not a problem."
After hearing this, Xu Jinghao raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, she became a little rich woman without me knowing it!"
Cen Li said sheepishly, "Sister Xu, please stop teasing me."
"I can help you. According to you, the last stage is left, which is the IND filing and the NDA filing. It seems like just the last step, but these two are actually very important. It will take at least two or three years to complete them."
After Xu Jinghao finished speaking, she became a little more serious, "After that comes the production stage. The establishment of the production workshop is also a big challenge. In the end, it will take seven or eight years to successfully go on the market."
After hearing this, Cen Li was shocked, "It takes so long?"
I only know that medicine is very convenient to take and very effective in treating diseases, but I don’t know that developing a medicine is so time-consuming.
"Yes, are you in a hurry?"
Xu Jinghao nodded and said doubtfully, "I remember that your favorite thing is to study art. Why do you suddenly want to develop drugs?"
In fact, although she liked Cen Li very much, studying medicine, let alone researching drugs, was not an easy task. Cen Li was still so young, so she had some doubts.
However, she did not say it directly. After all, if she really wanted to deny it, she would have to wait until she had seen the prescription given by Cen Li.
"This is actually my whim."
As she said this, Cen Li recounted the story of how she saw a depressed mother throw her child downstairs, "I thought if it could be developed, it would be considered a meritorious deed."
After Xu Jinghao listened, she couldn't help but hold Cen Li's hand and said, "Sister Xiaoli, you are so kind."
"I just tried my best, but I didn't expect it to take so long." Cen Li sighed, "But that's right, it is medicine after all, and there is no room for sloppiness."
"Actually, if you really complete all the preliminary work, you will have saved a lot of time."
Xu Jinghao consoled her, "Generally, the research and development cycle of a drug is 8 to 12 years. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you. If it can be taken seriously, it may be possible to shorten some years while ensuring safety."
"Sorry to trouble you, I also hope to be able to go on the market as soon as possible to help those in need." Cen Li thanked her.
Xu Jinghao smiled and nodded, "It's no trouble, that's right. I'm glad to be able to help."
After the two of them finished speaking, the food arrived just in time.
Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we still have endless things to say about the things that happened around us.
"Sister Xu, is it convenient for you to go back now?" Cen Li invited with a smile, "How about you stay at my place tonight?"
"Okay, it's time for you to see where you live." Xu Jinghao did not refuse.
After saying that, the two of them held each other's arms and talked while waiting for the bus like little sisters.
