Why genomic healthcare data matters in the development of new therapies 

Drug Discovery World

One might argue that this all started getting exciting with the launch of the Human Genome Project, which the National Human Genome Research Institute consider to be one of the greatest scientific feats in history 1. DDW’s Megan Thomas observes developments of accessibility in this sector and the potential impact. .
