We also ask whether the new clinical data sharing principles endorsed by EFPIA and PhRMA go far enough and review lessons the industry has learned since the influenza A pandemic five years ago. Moreover, we take a look at a new microneedle array technology that could eliminate the need for deep tissue injections and its possible applications in vaccination and diabetes treatment and find out how Cancer Research UK is trying to tap into the power of citizen science with a new mobile game designed so players unravel gene data, helping with low-level research.
