Network Science – NetSci: An Extensive Set of Resources for Science in Drug Discovery

From the website:

Welcome to the Network Science website. This site is dedicated to the topics of pharmaceutical research and the use of advanced techniques in the discovery of new therapeutic agents. We endeavor to provide a comprehensive look at the industry and the tools that are in use to speed drug discovery and development.

I stumbled across this website while looking for computational chemistry resources.

Pharmaceutical research is rich in topic map type issues, from mapping across the latest reported findings in journal literature to matching those identifications to results in computational software.

Questions:

  1. Develop a drug discovery account that illustrates how topic maps might or might not help in that process. (5-7 pages, citations)
  2. What benefits would a topic map bring to drug discovery and how would you illustrate those benefits for a grant application either to a pharmaceutical company or granting agency? (3-5 pages, citations)
  3. Where would you submit a grant application based on #2? (3-5 pages, citations) (Requires researching what activities in drug development are funded by particular entities.)
  4. Prepare a grant application based on the answer to #3. (length depends on grantor requirements)
  5. For extra credit, update and/or correct twenty (20) links from this site. (Check with me first, I will maintain a list of those already corrected.)
