The Human Genome Project wrapped up in 2002-2003. Since it takes about ten years to get a new drug from benchtop research to the doctor's office, we should be only starting to see the first trickle of drugs reaching the market now. The biopharmaceutical industry is mostly focussed on recombinant antibodies at the moment, but expect to see the first genetic and stem cell therapies gaining approval in the next 5-7 years.
