During lead generation, many molecules are tested for target interaction. These may then need to be altered, or optimised, in order to improve their effect on the target.
During the non-clinical safety testing step of the medicines discovery and development process, molecules undergo safety testing in animal subjects in order to determine whether or not they are...
Phase II clinical studies, or proof of concept studies, begin to test the effect of a medicine on the target disease in humans. These studies are usually run as...
