Project Overview
The research focuses on the potential of food chemicals for drug development and health benefits. The project aims to use modern techniques like cheminformatics, chemometrics, and structure-function relationships to understand food-drug interactions and identify potential drug leads. The project also plans to use Principal Component Analysis for chemical categorization, read-across for exploring interactions, and structure-based modeling for finding new drug leads. The goal is to create a comprehensive database of food chemicals for future analysis.
