Drug Discovery is a process of identifying the new chemical compound that behaves as a drug like molecule.But this is a very slow process and may take around 7-8 years and large amount of money.

Steps in Drug Discovery

Identification of Target molecule

  1. Target validation
  2. Assay Development
  3. Screening
  4. Lead optimization
  5. Drug Development
  6. Clinical Trials
