| Abstract: | Current major advances in drug discovery
can be traced back to
pioneering contributions originating from academics over a century
ago. Living in a symbiotic yet noninvasive coexistence, the academic
community and the pharmaceutical industry have strived, each in their
own way, to develop the modern medicines that benefit humankind today.
The subject is presented from a historical and personal perspective. |
