Development of novel medicines is an important responsibility of researchers in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. However, the discovery of new therapeutically effective without side effects is not an easy job. I think the limiting step of drug discovery is the process of evaluating the therapeutic effects of candidate drugs. To overcome this problem, I would like to propose a novel approach, "drug discovery with silkworms".
新型药物的研发是制药科学领域研究人员的一项重要职责。然而，发现新的无副作用的治疗有效药物并非易事。我认为药物研发的限制步骤是评估候选药物治疗效果的过程。为克服这一问题，我想提出一种新方法，即“利用家蚕进行药物研发”。
