Drug Discovery and Development

Drug discovery is a process in pharmacy which involves the interaction of various disciplines leading to the invention of potent drug entities. The major part of drug design involves the identification of characteristic diagnostic biomarkers such as a protein responsible for the disease or disorder and then developing a drug molecule of therapeutic potency that targets it. The process involves various branches of pharmacology coalesce with biotechnology, bioinformatics, molecular biology, nanotechnology and biochemistry that ultimately leads to the production of molecules of therapeutic value.

• Diagnostic markers as therapeutic targets
• Approaches in target identification and validation
• In Silicon Structured Based Drug Design
• Drug design and molecular Modelling
• Molecular docking studies
