This journal focuses on the discovery and development of novel therapeutic agents, employing a variety of high-throughput screening (HTS) methodologies and assay platforms to identify and characterize potential drug candidates against diverse biological targets. Recent articles highlight the application of techniques such as grating-coupled interferometry, cell-based screens, acoustic ejection mass spectrometry, and AI-driven image analysis for targets including GPCRs, viral proteins, proteases, and protein-protein interactions.
