In this in-depth focus find out how genetic screening can be used to customise healthcare and why scientists have turned to machine learning in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
In this journal, find articles discussing antimicrobial resistance, exploring why inhibiting the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and neuropilin-1 could help combat COVID-19, as well as how CRISPR can be used to enhance productivity in cell line development. Also in this issue, features on engineering new biologic drugs and precision medicine.
