Adventures in Drug Discovery Research

Science

Drug discovery research is a complex endeavor where the failure rate is high. Yet there remains a need for new medicines to treat human disease. The modern drug hunter must be creative, curious, flexible and tenacious in order to succeed. It is a challenging and rewarding career. This case study illustrates some of the methods we use to discover drug candidates.
