What is it about?
This book explains how new biotech tools are revolutionizing our fight against diseases by speeding up the creation of new medicines. It starts with complex genetic and protein studies that reveal the inner workings of diseases, helping us design better treatments. The book then discusses how computers can simulate and refine drug designs before actual experiments, making drug development faster. It also explores natural remedies from plants and other organisms, and even uses viruses to deliver treatments directly to affected cells.
