A drafting group tasked with ensuring uniformity of terminology throughout the text of the draft convention and harmonizing the versions in the official languages of the United Nations reviewed the text from September to November 2006.
• A person in a wheelchair might have difficulties being gainfully employed not because of her condition but because there are environmental barriers such as inaccessible buses or staircases in the workplace which obstruct his or her access.
The drafters of this Convention were clear that disability should be seen as the result of the interaction between a person and his or her environment. Disability is not something that resides in the individual as the result of some impairment. This convention recognizes that disability is an evolving concept and that legislation may adapt to reflect positive changes within society.
The convention calls for the “progressive realization” of most of its provisions, in line with the resources of individual countries. Some steps will require money and for countries where resources are scarce, it is hoped that international assistance—which has neglected the needs of persons with disabilities—will help.Throughout history, persons with disabilities have been viewed as individuals who require societal protection and evoke sympathy rather than respect. This convention is a major step toward changing the perception of disability and ensures that societies recognize that all people must be provided with the opportunities to live life to their fullest potential, whatever that may be.
The rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in a perfect world, would be enough to protect everyone. But in practice certain groups, such as women, children and refugees have fared far worse than other groups and international conventions are in place to protect and promote the human rights of these groups. Similarly, the 650 million people in the world living with disabilities—about 10 per cent of the world’s population—lack the opportunities of the mainstream population. They encounter a myriad of physical and social obstacles that:
While some countries have enacted comprehensive legislation in this regard, many have not. Because of discriminatory practices, persons with disabilities tend to live in the shadows and margins of society, and as a result their rights are overlooked. A universal, legally binding standard is needed to ensure that the rights of persons with disabilities are guaranteed everywhere. The negotiations of the Convention embodied the principle ‘nothing about us, without us’. The Convention was drafted by the Ad Hoc Committee on a Comprehensive and Integral International Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities (Ad Hoc Committee), which is a committee of the United Nations General Assembly. Its membership is open to all United Nations Member States and observers. During its first session, the Ad Hoc Committee decided that representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) accredited to the Ad Hoc Committee could also participate in meetings and make statements in accordance with United Nations practice. Since then, the General Assembly has repeatedly urged that efforts be made to actively involve disability organizations in the work of the Ad Hoc Committee. Throughout the process organizations of persons with disabilities and other NGOs have been very active in providing comments and information from a disability perspective. • A child with an intellectual disability might have difficulties going to school due to the attitudes of teachers, school boards and possibly parents who are unable to adapt to students with different learning capacities.By ratifying a convention, and after the treaty comes into force, a country accepts its legal obligations under the treaty and will adopt implementing legislation.
Since its establishment, the Ad Hoc Committee held eighth sessions. At its first two sessions, in 2002 and 2003, the Committee considered the possibility of drafting an international instrument on the rights of persons with disabilities, and discussed the type of instrument and possible elements to be included. At its second session, the Ad Hoc Committee established a working group to prepare a draft text of a convention. The Working Group, composed of government and NGO representatives, met in January 2004 and drafted a text for negotiation. At its third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth sessions the Ad Hoc Committee continued its negotiations. The Convention text was finalized by the Ad Hoc Committee on 26 August 2006.
The purpose of the Convention is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights by persons with disabilities. The articles of the Convention recognize all rights, civil, cultural, economic, political, and social. The United Nations promotes the notion that these rights cannot be separated, and thus the Convention addresses them as integrated aspects of the entire spectrum of individuals’ rights. These rights identify action-oriented policy interventions for States to adopt in order to actively bring legislative and judicial systems in line with the Convention.In most parts of the world there are deep and persistent negative stereotypes and prejudices against persons with certain conditions and differences. These attitudes themselves also shape who is considered to be a person with a disability in each society as well as have contributed to a negative image of persons with disabilities. The language used to refer to persons with disabilities has played a significant role in the persistence of negative stereotypes. Clearly, terms such as “crippled” or “mentally retarded” are derogative. Other terms such as “wheelchair-bound” or “disabled persons” emphasize the disability before the person.
The term persons with disabilities is used to apply to all persons with disabilities including those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various attitudinal and environmental barriers, hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. However, this minimum list of persons who may claim protection under the Convention does not exhaust the categories of the disabilities which fall within the it nor intend to undermine or stand in the way of wider definition of disabilities under national law (such as persons with short-term disabilities). It is also important to note that a person with disabilities may be regarded as a person with a disability in one society or setting, but not in another, depending on the role that the person is assumed to take in his or her community. The perception and reality of disability also depend on the technologies, assistance and services available, as well as on cultural considerations.
Charity Williams, former CEO of medical device startup Veritract and now partner at Cooley LLP, hosted a panel that drew together experts in biopharma AI to explain the current state of the market and explore where there are opportunities
for growth. The panelists, including Nawal Roy, CEO of Holmusk, and Bhaskar Dutta, head of Digital Health at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, and Kevin Heyries, CBO of Inceptive, shared insights, beginning with their views on where AI stood in the biopharma ecosystem today.The COVID-19 pandemic saw an enormous level of investment driven into the biopharma sector. Yet, in the post-pandemic period, the market has turned somewhat more south. With venture capital drying up and the bottom falling out of the biotech IPO market, the panel session titled ‘Navigating Partnering in a Down Market’ could not be timelier. Jay Parris, Venture Partner at Arch Venture Partners, Ken Drazen, CEO of Arsenal Biosciences, and Sophie Kornowski, CEO of Boston Pharmaceuticals, shared their insights on the best way to partner in this new economic reality, with moderator Kate Hillier of Cooley starting the conversation by asking the panelists where the challenges and opportunities lie today.
Companies with experience in data science, analytics, AI and ML models, and a track record in generating value from data that pharma companies have not been able to leverage previously. Roy offered an example of this data in discussing opportunities in advancing mental health therapies. “Within the mental health space, there is a huge amount of unstructured data beyond the structured data that is in the notes of the doctors,” he said. “This unstructured data was not necessarily part of the thinking when a company is doing patient phenotyping. We are probably one of the few companies that have been able to do that in a very meaningful fashion, and we have been doing it for the last eight years.”
The panelists highlighted how, for small companies, there is a new struggle to raise sufficient capital. As a result, both consolidation between struggling companies and non-traditional deals are becoming more common. However, expectations need to be set, as these deals are not likely to be flashy deals seen during an up market. As one panelist put it bluntly, “You’re just not going to get that flashy $100 million upfront deal.”Kornowski, though, suggested that small companies should be cautious about entering into deals that may ultimately cost more than they are worth. Instead, these companies may be better off monetizing their assets early-on, so they are well-positioned to be acquired later.
Finally, the panel turned their attention to the biopharma nonprofits and small, early-stage companies. While their general advice remained the same, they also urged these groups to be more flexible, remain realistic about the market they are raising capital in, and to be open to new ideas and collaborations. Smaller companies are usually more agile and have a capacity to make decisions faster than larger organizations in the biopharma ecosystem, leaving them perfectly positioned to meet their clinical, fundraising, and business goals.
Is AI delivering a revolution in biopharma development, is it an accelerator for global health care innovation, or is it another ‘next big thing’ that won’t deliver on its significant hype? For panelists discussing ‘The Art and Science of Applying AI in the Race to Protect Global Public Health’, there was plenty of optimism about the potential for AI to contribute to future therapies, as well as some caution around its unregulated or irresponsible application to biopharma development.Moving into the practicalities of partnering, the panelists noted the importance of relationships in the biopharma industry and noted how essential trust-building remains. When setting targets, they cautioned against relying too heavily on comparable deals, and instead, argued that internal assessments should be completed to determine what the company needs as well as what it wants. If the final deal value requested is backed by a strong due diligence process and if the cost of capital and the net present value (NPV) of the asset have both been assessed, you have something that can be justified in a negotiation. “It might be a high justifiable number, but you can stand your ground,” summarized Hillier. “If you come up with something that’s just a number out of the air and you’ve got nothing to back it up, then there probably is some loss of face.”
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and advanced data science techniques have touched many industries in recent years, not least of which is biopharma. At the BIO International Convention, a strong and diverse Digital Health conference program that has focused on the role of these new technologies in advancing patient care, developing new therapies, and driving innovation but, in this panel, the focus was clearly on how this technology is impacting deals and partnering.
Collaboration and partnership in biopharma have become increasingly important in recent years. Top pharma companies are increasingly collaborating with smaller biotechs to fill their pipelines and generate innovations, some of which were impossible to imagine just a few years ago. GSK is typical of this approach, and on this panel, its Chief Scientific Officer, Tony Wood, joined his colleague and head of Business Development, Chris Sheldon, to highlight two partnerships that the company has established with Wave Life Sciences and ViiV Healthcare.The panelists also spoke to the challenges that biotechs faced in securing venture capital or other investments to drive their innovations forward. To attract investors and secure financing, biotech companies were encouraged to develop a compelling story, aim to partner early, consider alternative forms of financing, and build relationships with investors as well as with top pharma teams. Biotech leaders should keep their teams focused on execution, make sure they know their valuation, and be prepared to pivot their business if circumstances or clinical results demand it.Moorman explained how READI is using AI in their drug discovery projects. READI uses AI structural modeling programs like AlphaFold to extrapolate from the few structures of their targets that exist to understand how those structures are conserved. They also use in silico studies to optimize small molecules for action against all the targets they are pursuing. For his part, Verhoest explained that Pfizer also uses AI to design small molecules for a variety of disease indications. By finding patterns that are statistically significant in large data, they can make discoveries, predictions, and explorations that inform their drug development efforts.In the current down market, it is important to prioritize transformational assets and to be honest about the costs and potential of those assets when negotiating deals. They also highlight the importance of having a good alliance management team, building relationships with partners, and investing in personal interactions to build trust in business. “Once that deal is inked, it’s going to get bigger,” said Parris. “Having a good alliance management team, that’s talking to the other side and understands that we’re going to get 80% of the way there, and 20% we’ll figure out along the way.”
Panelists Nathaniel Moorman (Co-founder, READI), Patrick Verhoest (VP Medicine Design, Pfizer), and Hamza Ghadyali (Senior AI Specialist, SAS) joined moderator Peter Young (Pappas Capital), who kicked things off by asking what contributions AI and ML were making to drug development and healthcare today. For the panelists, these technologies are revolutionizing the accuracy and efficiency of small molecule drug design, enabling scientists to predict how molecules will interact with each other and with biological systems. Moorman argued that “the democratization of discovery” is another area wher
e AI and ML are making a significant impact, with companies and researchers already using these technologies for “enhanced screening and optimization.”
The biopharma ecosystem is diverse, encompassing everything from small laboratory teams through emerging biotechs, venture capital investors, healthcare advocacy groups, business advisory and expert consultants, and multinational pharmaceutical companies. Moving from a leadership role in one part of this ecosystem to a similar role in another part is not unusual, and usually it provides a chance for individuals to leverage their expertise and knowledge in new ways. For this panel, former biopharma executives turned venture capital investors Sheila Gujrathi (Ventyx), Maha Katabi (Sofinnova), Maria Fardis (Frazier Life Sciences), Mary Hedley (Eli Lilly), and Kimberly Ha (KKH Advisors) offered insights from their own journeys through the industry, and advice for biotech leaders in today’s down market.GSK has partnered with ViiV Healthcare on HIV, and Kim Smith, SVP Research and Development at ViiV, explained that it is this commitment to changing lives for the better that is at the foundation of their work together. “It’s such a great match for us to be working together,” she said. “We have a passion to change the patient treatment experience.”
Heyries argued that AI will become more integrated with drug development practices and will move up the food chain, with companies maintaining a competitive advantage if they can build unique platforms. Roy concurred, and added smart risk and smart capital will help push AI forward into spaces like mental health. For his part, Dutta believes that AI can help in better science, better operations, and better integration of a drug into a patient’s lifecycle but noted that the real transformational change is expected on the regulatory side, with more guidance and clarity anticipated.
In the field of HIV treatment and prevention, GSK has made significant progress. Its HIV business is 100% focused on delivering better medicine for people living with HIV, and it has been able to shift the paradigm from needing three drugs daily to now offering long-acting options that only need to be dosed every two months. Long-acting HIV treatment and prevention have been a game-changer for people living with HIV, reducing the stress and fear associated with taking daily medication and the risk of developing resistance to the medication. “We’ve been told by patients that taking a pill every day is a daily reminder of the fact they’re living with HIV,” explained Sheldon. “When we gave them long-acting treatments, they said that it was liberating, it was literally life changing, and we like that; it’s a good thing to change people’s lives in a positive way.”
What is the purpose of international conventions?
What is an international convention? An international convention or treaty is an agreement between different countries that is legally binding to the contracting States. Existing international conventions cover different areas, including trade, science, crime, disarmament, transport, and human rights.
Paul Bolno, CEO of Wave Life Sciences, and Wood explained how their collaboration on RNA medicines has brought value to both firms. The RNA editing platform developed by Wave Life is a unique technology that can be used to manipulate RNA molecules in a way that was never possible previously. Together, they have been working on developing new treatments for pulmonary and hepatic disease using RNA editing technology, creating new therapies that target specific diseases and medical conditions. By working together, these companies can create a more robust development pipeline and bring innovative treatments to market. This alignment between partners is important as, when it is lacking, collaboration can suffer. Effective communication and goal setting are essential to overcome the challenges of smaller companies partnering with multinational firms, and it is important to establish clear guidelines for how to handle potential areas of conflict early in the process of working together. With effective due diligence and trust-building, partnerships in biopharma can deliver the sorts of positive results that GSK, Wave Life, and ViiV have already demonstrated. On the business and dealmaking side, the three panelists talked about how AI will change the way the world looks at intellectual property (IP) and how to navigate the changes to IP. Specifically, there is going to be a shift from therapeutic efficacy being the key value-add of an asset to the data around a set of biomarkers, algorithms, and physical molecules being a source of enormous value. Yet, no matter where the value lies and what sort of deal might be in development, the panelists agreed that where a biopharma AI deal happens still matters a lot, and Europe is running behind the pack. “I don’t want to make a cliche statement,” Roy said, “but usually the deals happen faster in the U.S. versus Europe. That’s usually the case. Deals even happen faster in Asia than Europe.”Yet, such partnerships can pose several challenges that biotechs need to carefully consider and navigate. One of the main obstacles to cross-border partnerships is communication, as different countries have different norms and expectations when it comes to business communication, which can lead to misunderstandings and breakdowns in negotiations. As a result, it is important to establish clear communication channels and expectations from the start, to ensure smooth collaboration and win-win relationships. Another challenge is differences in due diligence processes which can complicate the evaluation of potential partners where companies or venture funds from different countries may not employ the same standards of diligence.
Data, of course, is critical for drug development, from identifying new targets to conducting clinical trials and gaining regulatory approval. However, the data landscape is complex and diverse, with data sources ranging from electronic health records to genomic data to social media. To address this challenge, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly partnering with other organizations to gain access to the data and expertise needed for drug development.
However, despite these efforts and early successes from top pharma companies like Pfizer and non-profit research labs like READI, there remain challenges. One of the biggest issues faced by AI and ML adopters is the industry’s siloed data, which makes research and innovation extremely difficult. To make progress, researchers and scientists need to break down those silos and collaborate better, sharing data in a way that still respects privacy and personal identifiable information (PII). Moreover, the need for high-quality data is another challenge. While there is already a large amount of healthcare data available, much of it is neither standardized nor readily accessible. Additionally, there are concerns about data security, as well as the potential for biases in the algorithms used to analyze the data.
Forming strong partnerships was a common refrain amongst the panelists for a variety of reasons. Partnerships, in particular, cross-border partnerships, provide companies with access to a wider pool of scientific talent, resources, and markets, which can lead to better products and services and help to establish a global network of contacts and collaborators. Transnational partnerships can help to bridge cultural and language barriers, providing companies with a better understanding of different markets and consumer preferences, which, in turn, can lead to better products and services. This can be critical for securing new business opportunities and staying ahead of the competition.Still, despite the challenges for AI and ML in healthcare, the panel remained rather optimistic. Ghadyali explained that “it’s very important that we leverage all the tools that we have, including AI and machine learning” in developing responses to global health challenges. AI and ML can aid in the deployment of drugs and vaccines, and algorithms can monitor electronic health record (EHR) data in real-time to identify patterns, and signal when something is different. The promise of AI is strong, even if the fruits of this innovation are still mostly blossoms on a larger tree.
