style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The major work of pharma R&amp;D is to manage and focus on the discoveries and developments, and improve the quality by conducting

It is vital to address unmet medical needs. Illustration of pharma R&amp;D for new drugs:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drug_Discovery\"><\/span><b>Drug Discovery<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pharma R&amp;D scientists are responsible for finding new drug targets by analyzing diseases. Often, the discoveries are conducted for new drugs to treat diseases. Well, biological pathways and mechanisms are the two routes to discovering new drug targets. During the pharmaceutical R&amp;D process, new drug compounds undergo testing. Testing also improves the medication&#8217;s safety and efficacy by adding additional compounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preclinical_Testing\"><\/span><b>Preclinical Testing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this procedure, the new drugs are tested by two methods, which are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Vitro Studies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: To assess the biological functions and toxicity of the drugs, the compounds are verified in a certified laboratory.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Vivo Studies:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Animal models are used to test promising compounds.
