Discovering and developing new drugs is difficult. Very difficult indeed. The cost of developing a new medicine, when you factor in the costs of all those projects which fail before getting to market, is increasing and is Very Large Indeed so what can be done to get us out of this situation?
Network-Driven Drug Discovery – Circumventing the Limitations of Target-Driven Discovery
Posted 20th September 2017 by Jane Williams
Over the past five years, e-Therapeutics have created a drug discovery engine based on a combination of large-scale, proprietary databases and a suite of computational tools. Small molecules are evaluated by their potential bioactivity in the search for better and more effective drugs to address unmet medical needs. This article outlines the core principles and advantages of the Network-Driven Drug Discovery (NDD) approach.
