Supercomputers, Software Can Speed Drug Discovery
Researchers
at McGill University in Montreal have used a supercomputer to develop
and test new software that can quickly analyze
effectiveness of drug compounds. This, in turn, could lead to
discovery of improved drug treatments for diabetes, Alzheimer's and
other diseases. The
new software tools, combined with the supercomputer, helped the
researchers identify several dozen potential genetic modifications
that could reduce drug toxicity, according to a university release.
