I'd assume that gap between one research paper identifying biomedical mechanism and making a first few drugs for clinical trials is at least 5-10 years, probably more because I'd imagine it isn't trivial to find a drug that can regulate the protein pathways in a robust way. Those in the biomedical industry could enlighten us about typical time spans.
