Sumith A Kularatne, Vice President of Research and Development at On Target Laboratories shares the research strides he has made in drug development

Zhihui Wang1,2 and Vittorio Cristini1,2   outline how they have developed a model to help predict cancer treatment outcomes… The physical properties of a tumour’s microenvironment influence a drug’s ability to penetrate and kill tumour cells. Some of these properties can be potential obstructions to drug diffusion, increasing the tumour’s resistance...
