The Medicines Discovery Catapult is one of eleven in a network of world-leading Catapult centres created to transform the UK's capability for innovation in specific areas and help drive future economic growth. The Medicines Discovery Catapult's vision is to enable the UK to become a world-leader in the drug development process, drastically cutting the number of drugs which don't make it through the pipeline, and reduce the huge costs involved. This will help the UK to become the leading place worldwide in which to develop and launch new products and services, and predict better patient outcomes. The Catapult's mission is to act as a collaborative ‘hub' of national expertise, bringing together academia, industry and regulators to develop and validate new ways of discovering new medicines and supporting the UK's strength in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and contract research space.
