How to Engineer Health - Drug Discovery & Delivery: Crash Course Engineering #36

submitted by Huzzaz on 02/15/19 1

Engineers are problem solvers, and our own health is full of problems to be engineered. In this episode we discuss drug discovery and drug delivery. We’ll explore everything from classical and reverse pharmacology to the new field of synthetic biology. We’ll also look at how important good disease detection is and why we need more targeted drug delivery systems.
