Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven tools have the potential to expedite the drug development process, making it faster and more cost-effective.
Drug Development Process:
- The Initial Phase of drug development involves identifying and validating a biological molecule, typically a protein, as a drug target.
- During the Discovery Phase, AI is employed to match potential drugs with target proteins from a database, bypassing expensive laboratory experiments.
- The Pre-Clinical and Clinical Phases require testing on cells, animals, and human subjects to verify safety and efficacy.
- The Regulatory and Post-Market Phases encompass approval processes and ongoing monitoring after the drug is marketed.
