The New Frontier in Drug Development: Understanding Biologics and Small Molecules

Cloudbyz

In the intricate dance of drug discovery and development, two protagonists emerge as the cornerstones of modern medicine: biologics and small molecules. They are often used to mimic or enhance natural biological processes, such as immune responses. Their small size allows them to distribute widely throughout the body.

Q&A with Mark Garner: The golden age of cancer research  

Drug Discovery World

Decades of research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of how the immune system detects and kills cancerous or pre-cancerous cells, known as immune surveillance, and the factors which modulate that response, have led to understanding how we can enable a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer more efficiently in different ways.
