It's #MolecularBioscienceWeek 🧪 It's an annual celebration of the impact of fundamental research—so, a great time to acknowledge its life-saving effects is by looking back at this vintage #ISpyPhysiology blog on how drugs make it to market: ow.ly/UTCL50ZSMB1 #Physiology

A Billion Dollar Gamble: How Drugs are Developed - I Spy Physiology Blog
Pharmaceutical drugs undoubtedly save lives. Penicillin, given to a patient for the first time in 1941, was the first antibiotic developed and has saved millions of lives. It’s no easy task, bringing a drug to market. It can take over a decade and more than a billion dollars. If an individual person wanted to fund … Continue reading A Billion Dollar Gamble: How Drugs are Developed

This #MolecularBioscienceWeek, we're asking: Molecular bioscience is important because... Sudheesh Allikka Parambil says it's about opening doors for the next generation. How would you finish the sentence? www.asbmb.org/molecular-bi...
Portrait graphic for Molecular Bioscience Week featuring Sudheesh Allikka Parambil, associate research scientist at Yale University. The graphic includes the quote: "Outreach is my way of showing kids from backgrounds like mine that science isn't reserved for certain people, it's for anyone curious enough to ask 'why?' Molecular Bioscience Week matters because it puts that door in front of the next generation before they've decided it's closed to them."
