ABSTRACT

Bioinformatics took ten years to get off the ground before DNA sequencing became a reality. These disciplines collaborate to construct a holistic system that combines clinical informatics, information technology, mathematics, and systems biology. Many pharmaceutical companies use a typical drug development process, but it is in serious need of a successful and innovative system. Clinical research includes biomedical studies such as observation, experimentation, and systematic analysis. Pevsner divided bioinformatics and genomics into three categories: the cell, the organic creature, and the tree of life. Clinical research may take many different forms, each of which is determined by the researcher’s unique objectives. This chapter will cover the role of bioinformatics in clinical trials at different stages, the development of software tools for the understanding of biological data, and the way it works as an interdisciplinary field of science to combine knowledge of biology, chemistry, and computer science, as well as the role of the new drug development.
