Drug discovery and development encompass the identification of new therapeutic compounds, their optimization, and the evaluation of their safety and efficacy. This multi-stage process involves target identification, hit-to-lead optimization, preclinical testing, and phased clinical trials. Advanced computational methods, high-throughput screening, and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the drug discovery pipeline. The development stage focuses on translating laboratory findings into clinically viable drugs through rigorous testing and regulatory compliance. Current trends emphasize precision medicine, repurposing of existing drugs, and sustainable manufacturing practices. Effective collaboration among academia, industry, and regulatory agencies is key to accelerating innovation.
