Work is underway to create a collaborative virtual research institute (VRI) to support the fundamental research and subsequent clinical translation of precision medicine in Abu Dhabi, as well as the United Arab Emirates more broadly. Here, European Pharmaceutical Review’s Hannah Balfour discusses the project with the Head of the new…
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a drug, abemaciclib, that inhibits growth of the most aggressive meningiomas and identified a way to predict recurrence more accurately.
Targeting medicines against the genetic and molecular drivers of lung, breast and other tumours has helped transform cancer care for many patients, yet precision medicine for complex chronic diseases has lagged behind. Maria Orr, Adam Platt and Ben Challis, from BioPharmaceuticals R&D at AstraZeneca, explain why this is changing for…
Two-year data shows Pompe disease patients treated with Nexviazyme® (avalglucosidase alfa) have sustained improvements in respiratory function and mobility.
The impending ‘Bio Revolution’, with the microbiome at its foundation, offers ground-breaking solutions and a wealth of opportunity in data science and bioinformatics, explains Anthony Finbow of Eagle Genomics.
Children with cystic fibrosis aged six to11 years could benefit from Kaftrio® in combination with ivacaftor, as a treatment targeting the underlying cause of the disease.
The gene therapy corrected the shape of some sickle cell patients' red blood cells and eliminated episodes of severe pain.
Astellas and Dyno Therapeutics will develop adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors for gene therapy directed to skeletal and cardiac muscle.
Growth in the global transfection technologies market will be driven by emerging methods and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases over the next five years.
