Abstract :

This seminar presents case studies on deducing novel Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) anti-influenza and anti- hyperlipedemia prescriptions from structure biology and other modern drug discovery technologies. The studies suggest that, by further investigating TCM theory and mining TCM databases, a better drug discovery paradigm may arise. The paradigm can be beneficial to both TCM and modern medicine.
