Accelerating Drug Discovery with the CCDC, AWS, and Intel: Curated Data Set of Protein Structures from the Protein Data Bank with Predicted Hydrogen Positions Now Available
AMSBIO offers a range of kits, media and reagents enabling development of food in a way that is not wasteful of our natural resources and is not detrimental to the environment or consumer health.
Drug discovery is known for its high attrition rates that lead to significant investments of both cost and time. But the emergence of patient-derived cells (PDCs) is on track to revolutionise this process, offering a promising route to more efficient and effective drug development.
In this article, Dr Andrew Carnegie, Head of Strategic Commercial Development at Inaphaea, explores the potential of PDCs and their role in shaping the future of drug discovery.
