Innovative Computational Methods for Pharmaceutical Problem Solving a Review Part I: The Drug Development Process

Computational methods have provided pharmaceutical scientists and engineers a means to go beyond what\u27s possible with experimental testing alone. Providing a means to study active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), excipients, and drug interactions at or near-atomic levels. This paper provides a review of this and other innovative computational methods used for solving pharmaceutical problems throughout the drug development process. Part one of two this paper will emphasize the role of computational methods and game theory in solving pharmaceutical challenges
