Secure Drug Discovery and Development Solutions

Bench to Bedside - Drug Discovery and Development Solution

The search for drugs that save lives is a demanding task in biotechnology companies. D&D (drug discovery and development) is a complex and protracted process characterized by many challenges and uncertainties. RootFacts serves as a reliable partner in this course, rendering its researchers or biotech firms with an integrated platform of services as well as bioinformatics tools that can help speed up the process from promising molecule to life altering drug.

This comprehensive guide explores RootFacts drug discovery and development services. This will look at specific services offered, their use cases, and how they streamline the D&D pipeline within the biotechnology industry.

Drug Discovery and Development Solution Landscape: A Multi-Faceted Approach

Drug discovery and development are multi-step processes generally classified into the following stages:

Target Identification & Validation

In this phase, one seeks to identify potential therapeutic targets like disease-associated proteins or enzymes. These targets are identified using techniques like genomics and proteomics

Hit Identification & Lead Optimization

After identifying a target molecule that can be exploited in drug discovery efforts, scientists screen libraries of chemicals looking for possible compounds (hits). These hits are then modified (leads) to increase their potency, specificity, selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties.

Preclinical Development

To determine if a viable lead is present before going on to human trials, promising leads undergo extensive testing utilizing cell lines in addition to animal models for evaluation of effectiveness/safety. This stage confirms efficacy of a drug candidate with minimal side effects before moving on to clinical studies involving humans beings

Clinical Development

Human volunteers are tested with the drug candidate during clinical trials where its safety efficacy and dosage are assessed. Clinical trials usually occur in phases whereby each successive phase offers more refined data regarding how effective the medication is against diseases

Regulatory Approval & Post Marketing Surveillance

After proving safety/efficacy in clinical trials, a drug undergoes an exhaustive approval process within regulatory agencies. Once approved, post marketing surveillance monitors the long term effects of the drug on wider population.
