Novel genomic methods for drug discovery and mechanism-based toxicological assessment

Genomics encompasses a range of powerful technologies that can be applied at all levels of gene expression, from transcription to mRNA translation. Collectively, these technologies have great potential for improving drug discovery, both target and molecule recognition, and development. In this article we review the current and potential future status of established and novel genomic methods within drug discovery.

The role of the supply chain in developing a 'lagging' region's manufacturing industry. How important are links with suppliers and customers?

This paper investigates the use of supply chains as a source of knowledge transfer to manufacturing businesses in South Yorkshire and the effect this can have on improving economic performance. It also looks at where assistance originates from, what factors influence who gets the assistance, and what the benefits are.
