IT based drug discovery

One of the challenges in the future will be to reduce the time it takes for data from molecular research to result in an individualized treatment for each patient, based on their genetic makeup and their disease subtype.
On average, the development of a medicine takes 10 years and costs approximately € 500 million. In the search for savings potentials, computer-assisted methods are the answer. c.a.r.u.s. provides the answers by developing high performance IT solutions for information exchange and processing.

IT as intelligent tools

In order to develop a new medicine, active substances first have to be found. In the past this was associated with the analogy of „looking for a needle in the haystack“, finding a potential substance happened by chance. The time to develop a new drug  is clearly shortened by the screening procedure. Screening molecules and understanding their effect on the target proteins provides promising substance candidates for further research. This obviously minimizes the needle in the haystack phenomenon
