Computer-aided Drug Design

Computer-aided Drug Design (CADD) uses powerful computer tools to help discover and develop new medicines. It simulates how potential drugs interact with specific targets in the body, such as proteins associated with disease. This approach speeds up the process by predicting which compounds are most likely to be effective, reducing the need for extensive laboratory testing early on. By modeling molecular structures and interactions digitally, scientists can identify promising drug candidates more efficiently, saving time and resources while increasing the chances of finding safe and effective therapies.
