Nano 'Lab-on-Bead' Technology Could Revolutionize Drug Development


Results from a Wake Forest University study have been confirmed in the Journal of Molecular Recognition for a nanotechnology breakthrough that could allow for testing of thousands of pharmaceutical agents at once.  The breakthrough could speed up the drug discovery process by as much as 10,000 times.  The technology essentially allows drugs to be matched to disease markers encapsulated in nanobeads, saving years of research and testing.  Check out the article in Medical News Today for more information
