Phenotypic Drug Discovery

Phenotypic screening is a strategy used in drug discovery to identify molecules with the ability to alter a cell's phenotype. Animal models and cell-based assays are both strategies used to identify these molecules. It’s the process of designing of drug that will target the small molecules such as peptides, RNAi, protein molecules, which results in the alteration of the phenotype of a cell or an organism in the desired manner.
