DRUG DISCOVERY SOFTWARE THE MAGIC OF MED-INFORMATICS Paper Presentation And PPT

Med-informatics is the collection, organization and analysis of large amounts of biological data, using networks of computers and databases is called bioinformatics. In the past decade bioinformatics has witnessed an epochal growth. Now it’s divided into many branches. The branch of bioinformatics which we present is about “the role of information technology in drug discovery”. Before the advent of information technology, drug discovery was more of a trial and error method. The success rate was abysmally low.  So what was their problem?  Their success depended on human capabilities alone. It was such a tedious process and that was the reason for their low success rate. Do we today have a magic wand which makes drugs appear from nowhere? In a sense we do. And that is what we call intelligence processing.
