Glossary Drug Discovery

process of finding new medications for treating diseases

Drug Discovery, also known as Pharmaceutical Discovery, is the process by which new candidate medications are discovered. It involves identifying active compounds, conducting preclinical research, and optimizing these compounds for efficacy and safety before they can be tested in clinical trials. This complex and multi-step process aims to develop new treatments for diseases, including conditions like alopecia.
