| The IBC Life Sciences Conference, Biomics - Gene to protein to structure to drug, was held in Frankfurt 19th-21st November. This conference demonstrated how integrating genomics, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, structural biology and bioinformatics can provide well-validated drug targets for drug discovery. A key theme of the meeting was the degree to which laboratory academic research has been successfully industrialised. Many thousand gene or protein sequences can now be produced in a single day that were once the product of several years' postdoctoral research. |
