Webinar: Accelerating drug discovery by building and turning high-quality data into actionable insights
Posted on April 6th, 2020 by Rosalind Sankey in Chemistry
Drug discovery is a time-consuming and costly process (and all the more costly because it’s time-consuming). One of the hopes of the era of Big Data has been that having access to a wealth of scientific information could help speed the discovery process. However, the data itself has proven to come with many challenges. Medicinal chemists like myself are often frustrated in our attempts to integrate and work with disparate and unstructured sets of data.
