Abstract: Despite
advancements in genetics, chemistry, and protein engineering,
recent years have seen fewer approvals of new drugs, increases in
development costs, and high-profile drug withdrawals. This article
focuses on technologic methods for improving drug development
efficiency. These technologies include high-content cell
screening, expression profiling, mass spectroscopy, mouse models
of disease, and a post-launch screening program that enables
investigations of adverse drug effects. Implementation of these
new technologies promises to improve performance in drug
development and safety.
