NERDS (Numerical and Experimental Research on Drug Susceptibility)

NERDS, or Numerical and Experimental Research on Drug Susceptibility, is a field of study focusing on how effective various drugs are against diseases, particularly infections. Researchers use mathematical models and laboratory experiments to analyze data on how different pathogens respond to treatments. This helps in understanding which drugs work best, guiding treatment decisions, and developing new therapies. By combining numerical analysis with hands-on experiments, NERDS aims to improve patient outcomes and inform public health strategies to combat drug resistance and ensure effective healthcare solutions.
