A try to give knowledge about history of computer in pharmaceutical research and development from ancient history to now-a-days.

1. During this period, the first computers, such
as UNIVAC and IBM 650, were introduced,
aiding basic data processing in
pharmaceutical labs.
The industry witnessed a shift from manual
methods to digitalization, with the advent of
databases and electronic data storage
systems
Supercomputers became integral, facilitating
complex simulations and molecular dynamics
crucial for drug discovery.
Bioinformatics tools gained prominence,
enhancing genomics, proteomics research, and
the incorporation of computer-aided drug
design (CADD)
The era saw the rise of big data analytics,
revolutionizing large-scale studies. Machine
learning algorithms played a pivotal role in drug
discovery and candidate prediction.
