Drug Repositioning

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to analyze drugs known to treat a particular disease and find other drugs that can potentially treat the same disease, with some modifications, if required. Drug discovery is an expensive process. It takes a lot of time and resources to find new drugs to treat a disease. For this process, our project can be used to predict some potential drugs to treat a particular disease and those drugs can be further analyzed so as to study their properties with respect to the disease to be treated. For this, we have considered similarity between drugs chemically as well as the shared genes that are affected by these drugs.
