At the heart of dose optimization is a mandate to safeguard the health of study participants. From unwanted side effects to reduced efficacy and toxicity, the pharmacological effect of administered doses for any potential drug candidate must always be carefully vetted for safety and efficacy. Let’s take a closer look at dose optimization – what it is and how to get it right.

Biomarkers play a crucial role in drug development, helping measure the effects of investigational treatments in humans during clinical trials. Recently, advancements in biomarker discovery and validation methods, spurred on by innovations in instrumentation and in silico predictive tools , are improving diagnosis, prognosis and disease monitoring. Let’s take a closer look at biomarker discovery and validation.

This discussion around budding research into the benefits of AI and machine learning in drug discovery matters not only because it demonstrates that these topics aren’t going away anytime soon, but that it further validates the ability of AI to predict drug behavior accurately and reduce the time and cost of developing a new drug candidate.
