Abstract:
Drug development is a lengthy, complex, and costly process, entrenched with a high degree of risk and uncertainty that a drug will succeed to market. A major issue with this process is associated with the unknown pathophysiology for many diseases. The brain is enormously complex and that makes target identification extremely challenging. This is further complicated by the fact that In vitro/vivo models often cannot simulate the entire disease process. Moreover, other challenges maybe related to heterogeneity of the patient population and how those problems might be alleviated with increased clinical genomic and proteomic data acquisition/mining. These issues put greater emphasis on human data and how it might lead to improved target identification and validation. Presently, there is a lack of validated diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers that may objectively detect and measure biological states in certain stages of the disease process. Recently, precision nanotheranostics has emerged as an innovative approach to address these problems. It has been noted in the past as well, that precision nano-theranostics yields critical molecular imaging that delivers new target identification and verification and other important patient data that can aid in the drug development process. Precision nano-theranostics can offer a powerful solution to drug discovery, delivery and development by eliminating the challenges associated with drug development, allowing for better evaluation of drug activity/efficacy and toxicity screening, and will benefit the healthcare system by lowering costs associated with drug development.
