Drug discovery is the process how new medications are discovered. In history, drugs were mostly found by identifying active ingredients from traditional medicines or purely by chance. Afterward, classical pharmacology was used to investigate chemical libraries including small molecules, natural products, or plant extracts, and find those with therapeutic effects. Since human DNA was sequenced, reverse pharmacology has found remedies to existing diseases through testing.
Disease processes, molecular compound tests, existing treatments with unanticipated effects, and new technologies spur drug discovery through the cycle below.
Today drug discovery involves screening hits, medicinal chemistry, and optimization of hits to reduce potential drug side effects (increasing affinity and selectivity). Efficacy or potency, metabolic stability (half-life), and oral bioavailability are also improved in this step of the drug development process.
High content screening (HCS) has played a significant role in infectious disease research and drug discovery to date and can be a strong tool in the age of COVID-19 and beyond.
With a focus on viral diseases, HCS has been used by laboratories around the world to help with three key interventional strategies:
HIGHLIGHTS
With the development of diagnostic imaging devices, large amounts of digital high-res and 3D images are generated every day. The requirements of effective indexing and searching image are growing rapidly. Image annotation is an effective way for content-based image retrieval.
HIGHLIGHTS
When researchers start to collaborate over distances with imaging centers, using diagnostic services over internet connections the bandwidth and computation power easily exceeds the capabilities in remote areas.
HIGHLIGHTS
RAW DATA in laboratories occur in various fluctuating formats and versions in a large amount of laboratory devices, LIMS and quality management systems. Handling and traceability along the whole life cycle are key to lab control and end-to-end compliance in the drug development process.
HIGHLIGHTS
The last few years have seen tremendous consolidation in both the pharmaceutical and contract research industries. The impact among pharma companies has created a heightened demand for productivity. Properly designed CRO Collaboration opens capabilities in various functions like the following:
