What tools are aiding scientists in accelerating the discovery of new drugs
Exploring the mechanisms assisting scientists in enhancing drug discovery processes.
- High-throughput screening technology: Allows researchers to test thousands of compounds quickly to identify potential drug candidates.
- Computer-aided drug design (CADD): Uses computational models and simulations to predict the effectiveness of potential drug compounds, saving time and resources.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning: Can analyze large datasets to identify patterns and predict the properties of new drug candidates.
- CRISPR technology: Enables precise genetic editing to better understand disease mechanisms and identify potential drug targets.
- Organ-on-a-chip technology: Mimics human organs to test drug candidates more accurately before clinical trials.
