Trending Innovations on Scientist.com
Drug development is a painstaking, time-consuming process. It takes us more than a decade of research and development as well as billions of dollars to bring just one drug to market. Meanwhile, lives around the world are threatened by fatal diseases that are waiting for new treatments and cures.
We at Scientist.com are helping to accelerate the drug discovery process by identifying and providing access to the latest game-changing research innovations such as bioprinting, vascularized 3D co-cultures, RNA sequencing technology and even microgravity research!
Here are our top 8 innovation picks for this month pulled from the recent additions to our database.
