18^th World Drug Delivery Summit

Drug Discovery and Development

Drug discovery is a versatile process by which new therapeutics are expanded. From initial target identification to late stage clinical trials, a wide range of scientific personnel are required from across the biosciences and beyond. Biologists, protein scientists, medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists and computational scientists all have key roles to play. This process is essential as it is the means by which new drugs, frequently with novel modes of action, become accessible to patients.
