Cancer’s Next Magic Bullet May Be Magic Shotgun

June 18, 2012 – 7:00 am

Cancer's Next Magic Bullet May Be Magic Shotgun - A new approach to drug design, pioneered by a group of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco and Mt. Sinai, New York, promises to help identify future drugs to fight cancer and other diseases that will be more effective and have fewer side effects.
