Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

Recent advances in bioinformatics show clonal neoantigens are the best targets for immunotherapy, as I will elucidate below. Using powerful bioinformatics technology developed and validated with sequence data from the TRACERx study, researchers are able to identify clonal neoantigens from a patient’s unique tumour profile.

Accelerating Drug Discovery Through Repurposing

DrugBank

In Silico Drug Repurposing Advances in bioinformatics and systems biology have fueled the rise of repurposing of in silico drugs. For example, researchers at Harvard Medical School explored the association between the use of anti-inflammatory medications and the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
