Pharmaceutical Research and Development

Pharmaceutical Research and Development (R&D) is the process of discovering and creating new medications. It involves several stages, starting with basic research to understand diseases and identify potential drug targets. Researchers then develop compounds and conduct laboratory tests to assess their safety and effectiveness. After promising results, they move to clinical trials, where the drugs are tested on volunteers. This rigorous process can take many years and involves regulatory approval to ensure that any new medicine is both safe for patients and effective in treating conditions. Ultimately, the goal is to improve health outcomes and enhance quality of life.
