New technique to speed up drug development in Pharma

The Scientists working at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Grenoble, France have developed a new technique that helps to introduce up to 15 fluorescent markers to a mammalian cell in one go. Their openion is that, their research could help speed up drug development and screening. The study was funded in part by the P-CUBE (Protein production platforms) project, which has clinched EUR 6.6 million through the Research Infrastructures budget line of the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
