Cell and gene therapies: why advanced medicines call for specialised logistics

Pharmaceutical Technology

Genetic mutations, both germline and acquired, are behind a large proportion of the most debilitating and sometimes life-threatening human diseases. But scientists have struggled to find effective treatments for many of these diseases since the dawn of modern medicine. A new frontier in cancer research.
