Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD)

Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) uses computer software to assist in discovering and developing new medicines. By simulating how potential drug molecules interact with specific biological targets, such as proteins involved in disease, researchers can predict which compounds might be effective. This approach speeds up the process by reducing the need for first testing many physical samples in the lab. CADD combines chemistry, biology, and computer modeling to identify promising drug candidates more efficiently, making drug development faster, more cost-effective, and increasing the chances of discovering effective treatments.
