drug design

Drug design is the process of creating new medications that can effectively treat diseases. It involves understanding how diseases work at a molecular level and identifying specific biological targets, like proteins. Scientists use computer modeling, laboratory testing, and knowledge of chemistry to develop molecules that can interact with these targets, improving their effectiveness and reducing side effects. The goal is to create safe, effective drugs tailored to solve specific health problems. This process can take many years and requires collaboration among chemists, biologists, and clinicians to ensure that new drugs are both effective and safe for patients.
