“The Must” of the Drug Discovery and Development is – Interdisciplinarity

The process of drug research and development has always been a challenge for many different professionals involved. In this process special emphasis has always been placed on the utilization of the state-of —the-art techniques through the interactions of experts from various fields. Nowadays, the approach of having single, narrow knowledge and background has been overcome. New researchers should be willing to acquire compli- mentary knowledge and skills through active communication with other professionals and learn about the ongoing application of advanced technologies that are evolving dai-ly. Drug discovery process can serve as a model for implementing and providing evidence of this. The authors of this article, scientists with different backgrounds and expertise, were in the past actively involved in establishing new research facilities, in developing new systems, in acquiring new knowledge and ways of working within their institutes, universities and pharmaceutical industry. In such a way, they have demonstrated that there are no boundaries and limitations in knowledge sharing, particularly for the be-nefit of human health.
