Product Description
In Finding Better Medicines, we learn how the body fights illness and infection and sometimes needs the help of medicines to be cured. We find out how some drugs we now take for granted (such as aspirin and penicillin) were developed, how pharmaceutical companies research and improve new drugs, and how advanced technologies such as genetic engineering can be used to create plants and animals that can be farmed for medicines.
