Abstract:
I have been exploring methods for education and research on drug information for 43 years. There are various approaches to drug informatics research, which include collecting, evaluating, and analyzing information to solve drug related problems, sometimes producing new information from experiments and clinical research. All are based on information science. Drug informatics is information science from the viewpoint of pharmaceuticals. In addition to basic pharmacology, knowledge and skills such as epidemiology, data science, computer science, mathematical statistics, and communication studies are indispensable for the development of drug informatics.
