A Novel Customized Big Data Analytics Framework for Drug Discovery
TLDR
An overview of big data analytics in the process of drug discovery is presented and an analytic framework which can be applied to computational drug discovery process is outlined and the challenges are discussed.
Abstract
Drug discovery is related to analytics as the method requires a technique to handle the extremely large volume of structured and unstructured biomedical data of multi-dimensional and complexity from pharmaceutical companies. To tackle the complexity of data and to get better insight into the data, big data analytics can be used to integrate the massive amount of pharmaceutical data and computational tools in an analytic framework. This paper presents an overview of big data analytics in the field of drug discovery and outlines an analytic framework which can be applied to computational drug discovery process and briefly discuss the challenges. Hence, big data analytics may contribute to better drug discovery.
