Bioinformatics Tools for Drug Target Identification and Validation

Abstract

In the realm of pharmaceutical research and drug development, the identification and validation of suitable drug targets are crucial steps towards successful therapeutic interventions. Bioinformatics has emerged as an indispensable tool in this process, offering innovative methodologies and computational approaches to expedite target discovery and validation. This abstract provides an overview of the bioinformatics tools and techniques employed in the identification and validation of drug targets. The first section outlines the process of target identification, which involves the systematic analysis of biological data to pinpoint molecules or pathways associated with disease pathogenesis.
