Arti Gadade*, Santosh Waghmare and Dr. Hemant Kamble

ABSTRACT

Drug discovery is the process of identifying and characterizing molecules with the potential to safely modulate disease, with a goal to bring medicines that can improve the lives of patients. It is a lengthy and resource intensive process, that requires close cooperation across multiple disciplines. Drug development is the process of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been identified through the process of drug discovery.
