Bioelectric medicine could become a reality sooner than expected, thanks to an ambitious plan launched by GSK. We find out how nano-scale devices could harness the electrical language of the human body and explore the technology’s future potential.
Also in the latest issue of Pharma Technology Focus, we find out how the landmark decision in the US Supreme Court that DNA could not be patented will affect pharmaceutical research, explore the ethics of advertising drugs directly to the consumer in the light of a recent study and learn how manufacturers have used the a similar method for heavy metals testing for over a century.
Moreover, we ask whether certain barriers will hinder any further growth in the influenza market, investigate the often controversial decision-making process behind the approval or rejection of cancer treatments in the UK, and look at how virtual reality and e-learning could change science teaching and pharmaceutical training forever.
