This ebook is Your Gateway to a Future in Life Sciences, AI, and Innovation. It offers a clear roadmap to help you get started.
The ebook provides a clear picture of these topics mentioned below.
What Is Computational Biology in Drug Discovery?
Computational biology uses data analysis, coding, and mathematical modeling to study biological systems. In drug discovery, it helps predict how potential drugs interact with the 
body, enabling researchers to simulate and optimize compounds before they are synthesized in a lab.
With the help of computational biology, the entire process of drug development is being accelerated. This is also providing high accuracy in areas such as target identification, molecular modeling, and predictive toxicology.
The ebook also provides a thorough knowledge of why this field matters now. With the recent advent of AI in biology, tools and techniques are being employed to optimize drug screening processes and validate target procedures. This type of approach, combined with automation, not only enables faster drug development but also reduces laboratory errors. One notable example is the development of the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic.
