Did You Know?

The process of identifying and developing medicines is long and challenging. It begins by exploring the roots of a disease or condition. Which aspect of a disease should we target, and with what type of molecule? 

If a candidate molecule proves promising, it then continues through years of rigorous testing and must obtain regulatory approval before it reaches the market. A very small fraction of the candidates that begin evaluation will ultimately survive the tough process of research, development and testing to finally become medicines.
