...from understanding the function of a gene by generating genetically modified animals or cells, to gene therapy, drug research, and even agriculture. More importantly yet, the use of genome editing continues to grow and it is likely that these technologies will accelerate research, leading to important scientific breakthroughs in years to come. More on genome editing...

...research away from a strategy based purely on potency against the isolated target protein. It begins with practical, multidisciplinary, laboratory work leading to the identification of candidate molecules that are evaluated in large multinational clinical trials. The escalating costs are mirrored by the increasing demand for supply of the compound as development work...
