DESCRIPTION:The series resumes for the Lent term on 19th January with a se
 ssion about the conversion of ideas into science and thence into business 
 opportunities. \n\nCambridge Antibody Technology (CAT) was founded in the 
 dying days of 1989 to develop human therapeutic antibodies. The early stag
 es were difficult\; the underlying science was only half done\, and the la
 rge pharmaceutical companies and most investors did not believe that antib
 odies were viable drugs\, although now it is an industry with a turnover o
 f more than $25 bn per annum. Sir Gregory Winter (a founder) and Dr Kevin 
 Johnson (an early recruit) will piece together the founding\, and the deve
 lopment of the science and business of CAT\, including the early developme
 nt of the blockbuster drug HumiraTM directed against rheumatoid arthritis.
