Discovering connections between drugs and diseases
This sounds important–and like a really good idea:
A research team led by scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard announced today the development of a new kind of genetic “roadmap” that can connect human diseases with potential drugs to treat them, as well as predict how new drugs work in human cells….The three papers show the map’s ability to accurately predict the molecular actions of novel therapeutic compounds and to suggest ways that existing drugs can be newly applied to treat diseases such as cancer. Based on the results, the papers propose a public project to expand this initial human Connectivity Map — in the spirit of the Human Genome Project — to accelerate the search for new drugs to treat disease.
