This document discusses how informatics tools can be used across various stages of the drug discovery process in the 21st century. It outlines how genomics, bioinformatics, structural biology, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, and QSAR/read-across methods can help with target identification, hit discovery, candidate selection, and ADMET profiling. The document emphasizes using integrated informatics approaches rather than single tools to better link biological and chemical data for risk assessment and developing safer drug candidates. It also highlights the need for validation of models and moving beyond black box methods.
