Tremendous expectations have been connected with precision medicine in the past years. Beside the advantages that this type of therapy offers we should be aware of its challenges too. In this issue we will highlight o...
Limited reproducibility of preclinical data is increasingly discussed in the literature. Failure of drug development programs due to lack of clinical efficacy is also of growing concern. The two phenomena may share an...
In drug research, a serious transformation has taken place. With increasing knowledge gained from molecular medicine, it became possible to refine and develop new therapies based on the molecular mechanisms of disease...
Precision medicine aims to treat diseases with special consideration for the individual biological variability. Novel biomarkers (BM) are needed to predict therapeutic responses and to allow for the selection of suita...
The article aimed to give a personal perspective on drug discovery and development. The author has worked both in Big Pharma as a scientist and manager and more recently also in start-up biotech companies. Drug compan...
Reproducibility is a hallmark of scientific efforts. Estimates indicate that lack of reproducibility of data ranges from 50% to 90% among published research reports. The inability to reproduce major findings of publis...
