Innovation in Drug Discovery Technology

Technology has been a major driver of advances in drug discovery. Automation, nanofluidics, imaging, software and assay technologies have played a major role in getting better data, faster. Is drug discovery at such an advanced state that further improvements are no longer needed or cost-effective? There are different opinions on this and much of the evidence is anecdotal, but technology innovation is critical to the improvement of the drug discovery process and worth discussing. Over the course of a year I attend 4 or 5 drug discovery conferences in the US and Europe. This gives me a good opportunity to visit exhibits, attend presentations and read posters
