Bruker Drug Discovery Description
The process of bringing a new drug to market, from the initial step to the final market introduction can be time-consuming, expensive, and highly regulated. It can take up to a decade. Final success depends on early access to accurate analytical results that are fast enough to make the right decisions during development and minimize late attrition. Today's drug development relies heavily on a rational approach. Typically, identifying the biological target is the first step. To identify the most promising candidates, it is necessary to have a deep understanding about their properties. Finding the most promising lead molecules can be a daunting task once a biological target is established. Lead discovery is typically the identification of potential drug candidates, either small organic molecules or biologic assembly with therapeutic potential.
