Abstract:
Drug discovery is the merge of the cutting edge Science and Technology. Recent advance of science, especially life science, is remarkable. Of particular, the progress of genome science following the completion of Human Genome Project, is dramatically rapid. Accompanied with the progress of computer science. In Silico Biology has also emerged. Integrated with these newly emerged disciplines, drug discovery science based on the genomic science has entered a new era of In Silico Drug Discovery. Drug discovery science for personalized medicine is now evolved into of In Silico Drug Discovery based on bioinformatics.
