I shall no doubt wax lyrical about something later in the day but for the moment, given that it is Friday, I would highly recommend this article/special report by Ben Hirschler of Reuters on the challenges and opportunities inherent in the globalisation of clinical trials.

And while I am at it, special mention of the work funded by AMRC member charity, Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, together with the MRC, of a promising new drug for Duchenne muscular dystrophy which will hopefully go into early clinical trials in humans in due course.
