Most \'new\' antibiotics today are modified from older ones. If you were a pharmaceutical company, what kind of drug or treatment do you think you would be looking for right now?

Solution

The incidence of diabetics is on the rise around the world. Many diabetic patients need to take insulin to keep their sugar levels under control. However, the mode of injection of insulin into the body is difficult and also painful. Given that people needing insulin to control diabetes is going to rise, I would look for ways to deliver insulin into the body using a method that is not painful. Perhaps, if there could be some way of delivering insulin into the human body using a pill that can be ingested, that would be a revolution and help the company to do very well. It would also be a boon to patients to take their insulin on time.
