Viral Vectors for Gene Editing and How They Are Designed and Manufactured By CDMOs

The idea that genetic problems can be treated and possibly cured through gene editing has changed modern medicine. This method uses viral vectors as a fundamental component. These viruses are genetically modified and are meant to infect cells. Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) often handle the development of these vectors, which are essential for

How DNA Encoded Libraries Expedite Drug Discovery

Drug discovery and development is a complex and tedious process requiring a significant amount of time and resources. In fact, on an average, the entire drug development process, from the demonstration of proof-of -concept to commercial launch, takes around 10-15 years and requires huge capital investments (USD 4-10 billion). Moreover, only a small fraction of
