Modern Research

Drug development is a complex, multi-stage process that involves the discovery, design, testing, and regulatory approval of new pharmaceuticals to ensure they are safe and effective for human use. It requires collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and regulatory bodies, and can take over a decade with high financial investment and risk of failure at various stages.

Drug Development

Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies, aiming to treat the whole person rather than just the disease. It emphasizes a holistic view of health, focusing on the physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual aspects of well-being to promote healing and wellness.
