CHAPTER 16: Summary and Outlook

The short history and current state-of-the-art of computational drug discovery will be summarised with the key advances in recent years highlighted. The continued growth of computing power, which still follows Moore's law, is only becoming challenged by the increasing amount of data analysis and calculations that we want to perform on these machines. Although it will be possible to generate more results and faster, it is reiterated that hypothesis-driven science remains the most valuable foundation that we can have as scientists.
