Sustainable international drug discovery using natural products
Dr Cordell returned to talk about ways to produce drugs sustainably. There are thousands of compounds in each organism on the planet. Many of these may prove useful medicinally. There are challenges in balancing technology and nature for sourcing drugs. Paraphrasing from Alice in Wonderland, the way to go depends on where you want to go to. Some further challenges noted were.
Renewal resource identification
Defossilization requirements
Global healthcare gap
Natural vs production
It is too expensive to scale traditional medicine while synthetic medicine has volume, distribution, and cost problems. Current approval of a drug takes 15-20 years and $2.7 billion.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who purchased raffle tickets in support of the Holland Rotary Fundraiser. We are pleased to announce that the winning ticket was purchased by a friend of Charlie Soria. The fortunate winner will be traveling from Chicago to enjoy a tour of the Big Red Lighthouse.
Contributions from the raffle play a vital role in supporting the education of youth in the Holland/Zeeland area. The funds raised will be directed towards our three-day leadership training program for middle school students, now in its 23rd year at Hope College.
We appreciate the participation of everyone who bought tickets.
