Drug Discovery Modalities 4 articles

Drug Discovery Modalities organizes therapeutic formats and discovery approaches used to convert biological hypotheses into candidate medicines. It spans small molecules, antibodies and conjugates, peptides and proteins, targeted protein degradation, RNA-directed chemistry, radiopharmaceuticals, vaccines, viruses, phage and microbiome interventions, alongside screening and structure-based discovery methods. The category distinguishes what a therapy is from how a candidate is found, so a modality such as an ADC is not conflated with docking, virtual screening or a specific drug product.
