From Lab to Life: The Journey of Drug Discovery
Author(s): Autumn Guyer*
The journey of drug discovery is a remarkable odyssey that begins in the laboratory and culminates in the improvement of human health and wellbeing.
It is a complex and multifaceted process that requires interdisciplinary collaboration, cutting-edge technology, and unwavering dedication.
In this article, we delve into the stages of drug discovery, from the initial spark of scientific curiosity to the delivery of life-changing medications
to patients worldwide. The journey of drug discovery often begins with the identification of a molecular target associated with a specific disease
or condition. This target may be a protein, enzyme, receptor, or nucleic acid involved in the biological pathways underlying the disease process.
Scientists employ a variety of techniques, including genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, to identify and validate potential drug targets.. Read More»
