Target identification is a research area in biology and medicine focused on identifying specific molecular targets that are involved in a disease or biological process. This involves identifying key proteins, genes, or other molecules that play a role in the pathway of interest and may serve as potential therapeutic targets for drug development. Target identification is a critical step in the drug discovery process, as it helps researchers understand the underlying mechanisms of a disease and develop targeted therapies that can precisely modulate these specific targets. Techniques used in target identification include genetic screening, proteomics, and bioinformatics analysis. Ultimately, identifying and validating targets is essential for the development of successful and effective treatments for various diseases.
