“For years, we were studying one gene at a time. And then we could study ten genes at a time, and now we can study 20,000 genes at a time,” Diaz says. “For drugs, we develop one drug at a time. So there needs to be some revolution in drug development that will change that, so there will be more drugs than genes.” Today there is a complete mismatch between the drug development process and the speed and precision made possible by genomics.
