How do Cooperation and Scientific Research Influence Drug Development? The Case of Cancer Disease

Abstract

I have learnt a lot from them, and I am very lucky to share the time of my PhD study with them.Fourthly, I am indebted to my colleagues Junguo Shi, Yongli Li and Xueqian Yin. They were kind enough to discuss my thesis and provided many useful comments, such as on the journal list in Chapter 2 and the data matching method in Chapter 3. Fifthly, I want to gratefully acknowledge the support from Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through Project CSO2016-79045-C2-2-R of the Spanish National R&D&I Plan, and Project AICO/2021/021 of the Valencian Government. The Universitat Politècnica de València funded my research through Contratos Pre-Doctorales UPV 2018 and Mobility Grants UPV 2019. An early version of the work in Chapter 3 was a finalist (third position) in the UAM-Accenture Chair Award 2019. Attendants of our sessions at the 2018 INGENIO PhD Days, 2018 Technology Transfer Society (T2S) and 2019 DRUID Academy Conferences provided important comments.Finally, a lot of credit is due to the huge support from my parents, Deying Li and Lifang Wang. They gave me enough freedom to live my life and encouraged me to develop an international PhD study abroad. I feel absolutely grateful for having such wonderful parents.
