Drug Development

Once a lead molecule has been identified through the drug discovery process, drug development focuses on bringing a new pharmaceutical medicine to market. It may include pre-clinical research on microbes and animals, as well as submitting for regulatory status, such as an investigational new drug application with the US Food and Drug Administration to begin human clinical trials.
