If there’s one thing I would take from the Summer 2023 issue of Drug Discovery World , it would be that the application of technologies and processes throughout the pharmaceutical industry are changing how scientists pursue the development of therapies. This was done to assess the accuracy of the team’s machine-learning algorithms.

The announcement followed the signing of deals to make new medicines available across the country. . According to the publication, “A small clinical trial has shown that researchers can use CRISPR gene editing to alter immune cells so that they will recognise mutated proteins specific to a person’s tumours.

Much of the fundamental groundwork for genetics and genomic research was laid in the 20 th century, with significant contributions from women scientists, some of whom worked during times when acceptance of female researchers was not widespread. Here is a profile of some of those brilliant women who helped shape genetics research.
