Abstract

In the late 1970s, creative minds began harnessing the power of genetics and molecular biology to fuel an emerging revolution in drug development. Ever since, pharmaceutical innovations have been prolonging human life and alleviating human suffering, by treating what were once intractable diseases and medical conditions. In the years ahead, patients will likely benefit further from a growing arsenal of precision-guided weapons that more effectively target the lifelines of disease while minimizing the collateral damage of side effects.
