Drug Development

The value of proteomics in drug development is twofold, both in the discovery of new molecules as therapeutic targets, but also as a way to perform high throughput drug profiling.

Common applications of protein analysis in the drug industry include analyzing novel targets, identification of biomarkers from biological samples and understanding disease mechanisms, structure-based drug design, and discovering the mode of action of lead compounds.

Throughout the discovery of drug targets and the development of new effective drugs, proteomics can support scientists in a variety of processes.
