Draper convenes experts to discuss new tools for Pharma
CAMBRIDGE, MA – Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Clinicians often have difficulty predicting how well a patient may respond to treatment, including surgery and drugs, and may need to try several options before achieving success. Radiation, chemotherapy and other treatments usually have disruptive side effects that are particularly frustrating for patients when not successful.
The TRIDENT II Weapons System is the primary strategic deterrent for both the United States and the United Kingdom. Fourteen active U.S. Navy Ohio-class submarines carry Trident missiles, accounting for nearly half of U.S. strategic warheads; four Royal Navy Vanguard-class submarines also carry them.
We work closely with academia and industry to identify the discoveries and new technologies that are solution enablers.
Concept
Our knowledge of how our customers will use a product—including their environment and operational constraints—informs how we conceptualize the solution.
Design and Prototype
Our modeling and simulation capabilities support rapid incorporation of new ideas and user feedback into virtual systems, demonstratable solutions, and fielded prototypes.
Transition
End-use of a product informs how we approach its transition to the field. We work with outside companies to prepare our prototype design for high-volume mass production, or can produce the device in-house when only limited quantities are needed.
Support
Our time spent in the field with sponsors provides them with critical technical support and provides us with valuable insight into the future needs of those customers.
