The Leading Edge: Drug Repositioning - Changing the Process of Drug Creation!

Drugs are essential to treating wounds and illnesses, yet drug development is becoming increasingly difficult as we are starting to exhaust the compounds used in new drug discovery. This is why drug repositioning, which seeks new efficacies among existing drugs, is gaining in popularity. Moreover, new technology is making drug repositioning significantly easier as researchers can measure gene expression to find effective drugs. We'll look at this research on drug repositioning and how it is changing the process of drug creation.
