Drug discovery and design is one of those areas which can be almost categorized as rocket science. The sheer complexity of human cellular physiology with its convoluted mechanism of actions coupled with multiple dimensions of variables makes drug discovery a truly challenging task. Dimensions like patient population sub-types‚ age‚ genetic variations‚ dietary patterns‚ gender‚ life style and many such factors all contribute to determining the drug efficacy and toxicity making the process really challenging

In its day‚ the spice trade was the world’s biggest industry: it established and destroyed empires‚ led to the discovery of new continents‚ and in many ways helped lay the foundation for the modern world.

Wheel is the mother of all technological innovations of today and discovery of fire is the man’s first experience about energy. Since then‚ man’s curiosity and meticulous efforts have helped him for new inventions and discoveries. But Science and Technology got its real recognition in India during the British period and were established to meet the needs and requirements of the then government

It takes a lot more than a few men and a bundle of wood built into a boat to travel around the entire world. Many explorers of this time period risked their lives to discover the land walked by many people today. The discoveries and gadgets made by these people have contributed positively to the voyages across the ocean today. Not only have they made it easy‚ they have also made it different in so many ways! The time period lasting between the 1500’s and the 1700’s‚ also known as the age of exploration

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is considered one of the most impressive science fiction films in the modern era and is a critically acclaimed masterpiece. To begin this analysis I will first give a synopsis of the films plot and key points to help lay a foundation for the film. The movie is broken into 4 acts‚ each focusing on a different event and time in the story. We first start with “The Dawn of Man”; we are greeted by what appears to be a tribe of early hominids foraging for food in

Genentech in 2009 for a total of $46.8 Billion dollars. Genentech was initially concerned about funding for early drug discovery with the acquisition taking place. Genentech was previously able to spend money on research and development for new drug discovery and now that Roche is fully in the picture‚ they were concerned that Roche may want to reduce funding for early drug discovery (Rothaermel‚ Pg. C415‚ 2012). Roche and Genentech were both concerned about the acquisition also because of the different

Geographical exploration holds a very important place in the history of Europe and even in the world history. It was due to these discoveries that the world became a smaller place. By the beginning of the 15th century‚ big ships were built and the magnetic compass was invented. The goods from Asia were transported to Europe through the Red Sea via Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. Although there was another route to Asia through the Gulf‚ owing to the monopoly of Arabs over it‚ it was very insecure

Dias had a voyage that inspired explorers to try a faster or better route to travel‚ which lead to the discoveries of newer lands;also‚ this voyage helped encourage inventors and scientists to invent effective techniques and new technology that could help future expeditions.
