Drug development: describes the process of developing a new drug that energetically targets a specific weakness in a cell. The process consist of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been identified through the process of drug discovery.
In December 2012 the UK Prime Minister announced the 100,000 genomes project to introduce whole genome sequencing for treatment into the UK National Health Service (NHS) o...
