A new £7 million centre at the University of Leeds will lead UK research in manufacturing advanced chemical products.

An international research group, led by Arizona State University professor Qiang "Shawn" Chen, has developed a new generation of potentially safer and more cost-effective therapeutics against West Nile virus and other pathogens.

As some countries and companies roll out new rules to limit animal testing in pharmaceutical products designed for people, scientists are stepping in with a new way to test therapeutic drug candidates and determine drug safety and drug interactions — without using animals. The development of “chemosynthetic livers,” which could dramatically alter how drugs are made, was presented at the 247^th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society.

Cornell University researchers report they have discovered direct genetic evidence that a family of genes, called MicroRNA-34 (miR-34), are bona fide tumor suppressors.

Chemists devise a new way to manufacture peptide drugs, which hold promise for treating many diseases.

Hopkins researchers improve modeling of movement in 3D environments, which could lead to better understanding of how metastasis occurs.

UH researcher says 'Google Flu Trend' shows where 'big data' analysis can go wrong.

The William K. Warren Foundation of Tulsa, Okla., has made a $3.5 million gift to the University of Notre Dame that, combined with a previous gift valued at $6.5 million, will endow the creation of The Warren Family Research Center for Drug Discovery and Development in the College of Science.

Before doctors like Matthias Kretzler can begin using the results of molecular research to treat patients, they need science to find an effective way to match genes with the specific cells involved in disease. As Kretzler explains, finding that link would eventually let physicians create far more effective diagnostic tools and treatments.

For lab manager Mark Lloyd, finding the motivation to come to work every day isn’t difficult. All it takes is an extra-long walk—a routine that started when he was a master’s student working at a shared resource facility at Georgetown University.

Scientists from the University of Sheffield have developed a novel antibody-based therapy which targets the progression of life threatening kidney fibrosis.

A commonly-used HIV drug has been shown to kill-off the human papilloma virus (HPV) that leads to cervical cancer in a world-first clinical trial led by The University of Manchester with Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi.
