New method may accelerate drug discovery for difficult diseases like Parkinson’s
Date: 23.7.2009
Whitehead Institute scientists have developed a rapid, inexpensive **drug-screening** method that could be used to target diseases that until now have stymied drug developers, such as **Parkinson’s disease**. This technique uses baker’s **yeast** to synthesize and screen the molecules, cutting target discovery and preliminary testing time to a matter of weeks.
