How Do Epidemiologists Contribute to Drug Target Discovery?
Epidemiologists play a key role in drug target discovery through:
Data collection: Gathering large datasets from populations to find correlations between potential targets and disease outcomes. Statistical analysis: Using advanced statistical methods to identify significant associations and causal relationships. Risk assessment: Evaluating the potential risks and benefits of targeting specific molecules. Public health impact: Assessing how effective drug targets can improve population health outcomes.
