弗朗西斯·柯林斯：我们需要更好地药物——就是现在

Medical science has uncovered the molecular roots of around 4,000 diseases, yet effective treatments exist for only 250. The drug discovery process remains painfully slow, often taking over a decade and costing a billion dollars for a single approval. Recent breakthroughs, like targeted drugs for cystic fibrosis and progeria, show what’s possible when technology and research align. Faster progress depends on repurposed medicines, creative partnerships, and new ways to test drugs without risking patient safety.
