Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Paris-based Sanofi and the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (IME) in January announced a joint effort to explore natural products as leads for developing new therapeutics, particularly drugs for treating infectious diseases. Many observers welcome this renewed interest in the natural products, saying there is plenty of untapped value to be uncovered but also warning that this route promises no short cuts.
