Antibiotic resistance is a catastrophic threat –and it threatens the achievements of modern medicine

Proactive use of IDBS’ E-WorkBook delivers continuous improvement across research, development and business operations.

AAAS discussion targets changing financial environment for biomedical research.

A method called proteomics was used in the Aarhus study to make the first overall description of venom proteins in gila lizards

Eve, an artificially-intelligent ‘robot scientist’ could make drug discovery faster and much cheaper, say researchers writing in the Royal Society journal Interface. The team has demonstrated the success of the approach as Eve discovered that a compound shown to have anti-cancer properties might also be used in the fight against malaria. 

Cancer is a notoriously evasive disease. It can adopt multiple identities, accumulating mutations or even gaining or losing whole chromosomes to create genetic variants of itself that are resistant to whatever drug is thrown its way.

Patent grants in US as Elasmogen moves closer to commercialization and clinical development.

The drugs were designed to keep cancer cells at bay by preventing their growth, survival and spread. Yet, after clinical trials, they left scientists scratching their heads and drug developers watching their investments succumb to cancer’s latest triumph.

It's a wonder new medications are ever developed at all. Taking a new drug from promising molecule to marketable product can cost upwards of a billion dollars and take a decade or more to move from clinical trials to approval. And the overall failure rate hovers near 95 percent.

Research at the University of Adelaide is pointing towards a possible prevention of severe gut problems for patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms and control many cellular biological processes by converting a molecule, or substrate, into a product used by the cell. For scientists, understanding details of how enzymes work is essential to the discovery of drugs to cure diseases and treat disorders.

Researchers discovered methamphetamine is more common in places where it’s illegal to sell liquor.
