By selecting the most appropriate target structures, using new technology platforms such as ultra high-throughput screening and genetics, we will be able to discover and develop drugs that offer unprecedented efficacy and safety.


New Technologies
New technologies and areas of research are the basis for today's revolution in medicine. Some of these have emerged over the past few decades, others more recently. Molecular biology and its most important instrument, genetic engineering, make it possible to study biological processes in cells, organs and organisms at the level of biomolecules. The causes of diseases can be identified. Thus it was discovered, for example, how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, penetrates and destroys white blood cells. In combination with information technology, automation and new chemical techniques, biosciences have the tools to develop new and better drugs.
