Overview

Drug discovery is the process of identifying a potential new drug and developing it until it is safe and effective to use in humans. This process can involve testing thousands of compounds against a disease target, animal studies, and clinical trials in humans. It is an arduous and expensive process, with only a small fraction of drugs developed initially actually making it to market. However, the impact of the successes can be immense, leading to improved treatment, longer life expectancy, and millions of lives saved. Drug discovery is a critical part of the healthcare industry, both for new and existing drugs, and it continues to be an important source of research and development for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
