Repurposing Medicines Toolkit – Guidance for navigating the process

Published by MRCLife Arc

GuidelineRepurposing

This toolkit aims to provide a guide for researchers, charities and others embarking on repurposing projects. It highlights common activities, issues and considerations at each development stage and signpost to other available resources. The content is mostly styled as questions – what should I be considering at each development stage? It is intended to stimulate thinking and not as a step-by-step guide, which reflects the variable nature of repurposing.
