Data Mining: Approaches to Drug Discovery
Drug Discovery today conceptualizes on the involvement of chemo informatics to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional Drug development process. Drug Discovery with the use of Chemo informatics and Data Mining generates large numbers of related chemical compounds. It speeds up the drug discovery in two ways: It can generate several million structurally related chemical molecules. By increasing the chemicals available for testing, the chances of finding a drug lead may be higher. With Data Mining, throughout drug discovery, data is collected relating chemical structures to each other. There are different Data Mining Techniques that can be applied on the data warehouse to obtain knowledge or useful information.
The Journal will be accepting novel research articles, review articles, perspective studies, clinical trial protocols, case reports and letter to editors on all topics which justifies with the scope of the special issue “Data Mining: Approaches to Drug Discovery”
