Harnessing the Power of Chemoinformatics in Rational Drug Design

Abstract

Ashwani Dhingra

The development of new drugs is a complex and resource-intensive process that plays a crucial role in advancing healthcare and improving the quality of life for individuals around the world. One of the most significant challenges in drug discovery is identifying compounds that exhibit the desired therapeutic effects while minimizing adverse side effects. This is where chemoinformatics, an interdisciplinary field that combines chemistry, biology and informatics, comes into play. Chemoinformatics plays a pivotal role in rational drug design, allowing researchers to harness the power of data and computational tools to accelerate the drug discovery process.
