All these scientists from various drug research institutes, hospitals and universities were part of the two day international symposium on "chemical biology - drug discovery" organized here by UOM in collaboration with DST.
Briefing reporters on the deliberations and papers presented at the conference, scientists in unison resolved to continue their endeavors and efforts to crack the disease with an intention to help the people, particularly from the developing countries.
Dr Gautham Sethi from Yong Loo Lin School of Medicince Singapore said one has to accept the fact that scientists have failed to find a cure for the disease, but this should not deter them from fining new drugs which can prevent the cancer cells from spreading (metastasis). "Any growth turns cancerous and into a disease when it metastasis" he said adding that but it would not be an impossible task to find a drug which can stop the cells from dividing. "We should find drugs which can make people to live like those having diabetic and other chronic diseases" he felt disclosing that work is in progress in full speed to find such drugs which provide relief to the people suffering from cancer. It is not good to say that scientists have failed to find a cure to cancer, but today cervical and breast cancers can be cured if they are traced in their early stages through markers, he claimed and said adding that many cancer patients are now living for more than 12 years after diagnosing the disease.
"We are optimistic of striking at the root of cancer, but it s needs a coordinated effort between clinical scientists and chemical biologists" he added.
Renowned biochemist from Cambridge university Tom Blundell said study of genomics of people are important and play a key role in finding the new medicines for cancer and still there is a long way to go for the chemical biologists to find a complete cure for cancer based on genomics. "As genomics of individuals vary scientists should work out medicines based on generalized gen mappings" he said, adding that soon generalized gene mappings will be available for the scientists to study and tackle cancer." But we should remain optimistic on the issue and there is no reason to lose heart" he added.
Dr Peter J Houghton from Nationwide children hospital Columbus, H Hinou gene scientists from Hokkaido University, Alexy Yu Sukhorukov from Russian academy of scientists Moscow also addressed the press meet.
