How Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Work and What They Can Tell Us
Why do some people develop type 2 diabetes while others don’t? Part of the answer lies in differences in our DNA, spread across many regions of the genome. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) compare genetic variation [...]
Strategies to Combat Antibiotic Resistance
Drug resistance is a common issue in drug discovery programs. After the long and expensive process of developing a drug, the last thing you want is to find that it doesn’t provide a therapeutic effect. [...]
The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry in Reaction Design
The 12 principles of green chemistry were developed in the 1990s by chemists who wanted to address the impact of their activities in terms of safety and sustainability. These principles are still relevant today, with [...]
G-Protein-Coupled Receptors in Drug Discovery
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a big role in the human body. As they maintain many of our key functions, much research is done to better understand the structure and function of GPCRs. In addition, GPCRs [...]
