I'm drawn to this type of company like a moth to a lantern. We all want to believe in "personalized medicine"--but my GP never takes a drop of blood and I doubt he ever will. But that hasn't anything to do with the "druggable genome" does it? It almost seems as if we have entered the age when a handful of biochemists can access Chembank, the Hapmap, and (with the right handful of guinea pigs for tissue samples) snag a few million, and discover a drug. Well, at least start a little biotech. Heh, that is 'my side of the story'. I am a meteorologist with no chemistry or biology education. It would be wonderful if a scientist such as yourself would lead this thread and point to articles of interest! "druggable proteome" nature.com
