Drugs without side effects
Developing new medications is costly and complex. Gene expression analysis aids in the early detection of the toxicity and effectiveness of new medicines. The method paves the way for customized medical treatment where side effects will be cancelled out. Pharmaceutical research is a long, tedious process. On average, it takes 12-15 years to... view more... (2004-02-26)
