Microfluidic systems to study the biology of human diseases and identify potential therapeutic targets in caenorhabditis elegans

Drug discovery is the process of identifying drugs for human diseases. Typically, this involves screening for a large number of chemical compounds against certain targets in cells using in vitro and in vivo disease models [1]. In general, the process includes five stages: target identification and validation, lead screening, optimization, preclinical development, and clinical trials. A protein or biochemical pathway that plays a key role in the …
