Cancer researchers are seeking to discover all the genetic mutations that lead to all different types of cancers. This research has identified new opportunities for the development of therapies targeted to specific cancers. In this 2011 Midsummer Nights' Science lecture, Jay Bradner discusses the history of cancer therapies, and the promises and challenges of this new, targeted approach. He highlights emerging creative approaches to cancer drug discovery, including a more open-source model as a proposed remedy for an ailing pharmaceutical industry.
