Description
This book describes the state-of-the-art of chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, materials informatics and measurement/metrology informatics to develop drugs with desired activity or physicochemical properties and to optimize the functionality, efficacy, safety and quality of the compounds for drugs. Recently, "AI drug discovery", drug discovery research utilizing artificial intelligence technology such as machine learning, has attracted much attention. This book provides an overview of the four applied informatics fields and their applications in drug development for a wide spectrum of readers from learners to professional scientists in academia and industry. It focuses on the basic research stage of drug development with contributions from experts at the forefront of these fields. The authors hope that this book will be of assistance to explore new opportunities for collaboration between pharmaceutical science and informatics.
