Bioinformatic use in Pharmacology

Pharmaceutical bioinformatics is a new discipline in the area of the genomics revolution. It is central to biomedicine with application in areas like pharmacy, medicine, biology and medicinal chemistry. The genomics revolution has given high throughput methods for massive gene sequencing, chemical synthesis and biological testing. This creates oceans of new information. Pharmaceutical bioinformatics is all about how to use all the new information effectively.

Chemical informatics is the application of information technology to help chemists investigate new problems and organize, analyze, and understand scientific data in the development of novel compounds, materials, and processes.
