Drug Discovery and Toxicity Screening

Submit Abstract Register Now

Discovering a new drug is difficult, tedious and expensive process, it can take up-to years and number of failures to develop a new successful drug.  In spite of this, many drugs fail later in the screening processes due to unseen toxic effects and side effects. Hence selection of appropriate models and assays to check on target is necessary to predict the toxicity at early stages and designing new paths in developing new successful drug. Early toxicity screening may help in eliminating the drugs which are not eligible for drug development processes.
