Computing Tools that Power Breakthroughs in Drug Discovery

I found this compelling 6-minute video on Computer Aided Drug Discovery. This technology will have a major effect on the drug discovery process.

Computers can crunch drug simulations and drive innovation faster than we've ever seen in our history.

The National Biomedical Computation Resource is developing tools that will drive drug discovery to new heights. This can result in faster generation of new molecular entities, and identify more candidates for drug development, which means fatter product pipelines, and possibly better outcomes.
