Genetic Research Can Significantly Improve Drug Development
According to a new study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology this week, genetic research in large-scale prospective biobank studies can significantly improve the drug development pipeline and reduce costs. New treatments are discovered by exploring biological pathways that cause disease but can be modified by drugs. The route from the basic biology to…
Bubbly Drinks Inspire More Effective Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Universities of Oxford and Ulster, supported by Cancer Research UK, are investigating how to re-oxygenate tumors with a drink that could deliver extra oxygen to the site of the tumour, allowing radiotherapy and chemotherapy to deliver a knock-out blow.
