Rational Drug Discovery and the Impact of New, Advanced Technologies
Jonathan Greer · Humana Press eBooks · 2000
Administration of effective pharmaceutical agents is among the most efficacious and cost-effective ways of treating disease. Therefore, the discovery of new pharmaceutical agents to improve existing therapy and to introduce treatments for previously untreatable conditions is of paramount importance, especially in the current environment of managed health care and the concerted drive to decrease the ever increasing cost of health care. To achieve this goal of continued and even accelerated discovery of new and effective drugs, the drug discovery paradigm has had to evolve in major ways over the past decade or two and is continuing to do so with the discovery and implementation of a broad range of new and advanced technologies.
