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.
Pharmcogenomics (PGx) is the 2nd potential clinical application of genomic medicine, preceded by genomic application for cancer. In the recently published, 2012 Institute of Medicine report o...
Obesity is a disease. It was once not considered to be a disease and to be a matter of will power and gluttony. It was also the case that we once thought that fat tissue had no metabolic func...
