INTRODUCTION

West Sussex is home to a fascinating and diverse Health and

Life Sciences industry. Historically, the county’s strengths

have predominantly been in pharmaceuticals. However, over

the years it has developed its position in Medical Technologies

to that of a strong market leader on a global scale.

Accompanying this is a wide range of companies that offer

support services for the industry, such as specialised

component design, clinical trials support and consultancy.

West Sussex is not only the base for an impressive number of

multinationals who chose to locate their UK or Global HQs in

the county, but also hosts a variety of SMEs, focusing on a

broad range of specialisms, all contributing to the next

generation of ground-breaking innovation and science.

We want West Sussex to be the location of choice. This is an

exciting time for this high growth sector and for the Council.

We encourage you to get to know your local industry and

associated partners to spearhead new opportunities from

which we can flourish.

Yours sincerely,

Louise Goldsmith

Leader

West Sussex County Council

pioneering scientists and assist in connecting them with appropriate investors to

help fledgling developments in the medical technologies and pharmaceutical

industries.

They are currently involved in the following projects:

• A simple, topical treatment for fungal nail infections. Now developed enough

to license the product to a dermatology company. They are looking for

partners with line filling capability

• PemphImmune Solutions Limited, a treatment for the rare autoimmune

disease pemphigus vulgaris. The treatment is unique in that it specifically

removes pathogenic antibodies, rather than relying upon a generalised

immuno suppression, which results in many unwanted side effects. They

targeted delivery of nucleic acids to tissues in vivo. They have been

successful in targeting tumours, achieving significant levels of gene knock

down and gene expression via intra venous injection in vivo. The particle

can be nebulised and they have demonstrated delivery to trachea and

bronchial epitheliae. The system has been used to knock down gene

expression in the brain, and can also target cardiovascular tissues

They are looking for licensees who need a delivery system for their

therapeutic RNA or DNA. As well as investors in this technology, which has

many cutting edge therapeutic applications. Currently, there are a number

of big and small biotech and pharma companies testing the system with

their nucleic acids

The University of Sussex, is internationally recognised for its world-class

research across many subjects. University staff work regularly with a range of

businesses from multinationals to SMEs on ground breaking research and its

practical uses.

The Genome Damage and Stability Centre focuses on the causes of DNA

damage and identifying the faulty repair systems which lead to cancer.

The Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science combines world leading

research in Psychology, Psychiatry, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence,

Neuroscience, and Cognitive Science to assist brain-injured patients through

new clinical interventions.

In 2013, there were 1,765 undergraduates in related degree programmes. 1,235

of these were reading degrees in biological sciences like biology, molecular

biology and biochemistry, and psychology. With a further 85 postgraduates

specialising in the more biological routes, the strength of the research centres

as well as their potential will continue to grow.

The Sussex Innovation Centre is also linked to the university where there are

entrepreneurs, start-ups and innovative growing companies who are offered

strategic advice, a business support team and, for those who need it, flexible,

professional office space. The goal is to help business grow quickly and

sustainably during the vital early years of operation.

The University of Surrey, 14.2 miles from the county border has recently made

major investment in this sector with £10 million invested in new engineering for

health labs. This is to help drive forward Surrey’s ‘Engineering for Health’

campaign, which looks to address the challenges on the expanding ageing

population, as well as the demand for 24/7 care and its impact on the health

service. The funding will help train up highly-skilled graduates, who will be able

to develop technologies such as remote monitoring of patients and apply the

analysis of ‘big data’ to personalised care.

Its health and medical science faculty has 2,000 full time and 2,000 part time

students and has established a new £45 million vet school, one of only eight in

the UK. In the latest UK research excellence framework (REF 2014) they were

rated one of the top eight UK institutions for biosciences, health and veterinary

research. Their research has led to improved understanding and treatment of

diabetes, cancer, addiction, cardiovascular and infectious diseases.

Focusing on the medical trials and care provision side of the life sciences is The

Surrey Clinical Research Centre. Attached to the Royal Surrey County Hospital,

it is both a Clinical Research Facility and Clinical Trials Unit that together cover

all aspects of trial design, set-up, trial conduct, data management, data analysis

and reporting from single-site to global multi-centre trials. While currently

specialising in sleep, psychopharmacology, oncology, immunology and vaccine

development, an even broader therapeutic portfolio is constantly being

developed.

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH) and the Brighton

and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) can support research across a range of

studies within a diverse range of clinical specialities.

The National Institute for Health Research, Clinical Research Facility (CRF)

supports the delivery of early-phase clinical trials. It’s located with a teaching

hospital, so access to patients is seamless. The unit also has a database of

research volunteers. The portfolio of studies incorporates research projects

sponsored by academic partners and the pharmaceutical and medical device

industry. The CRF has an infusion suite for the administration of novel therapies.

The facility allows for the close monitoring of research participants. It has

several clinic rooms and can support studies that require overnight visits. The

CRF is staffed by a team of research Drs, nurses and administrators and

supported by lab technicians and clinical trial pharmacists.

The Brighton and Sussex Clinical Trials Unit (BSCTU) has been established

to support the design, conduct, analysis and publication of clinical trials and

other well-designed studies. There are many advantages to working with a

Clinical Trials Unit and in some cases involvement of a CTU is a requirement for

gaining funding. Studies with CTU involvement are more likely to deliver on time

and budget. This may be because study activities such as trial and data

management can be delegated to experienced staff who can work

collaboratively with the study team so the CI can concentrate their time on the

clinical details of the study.
