Studying drug targets for new treatments can be really challenging. Here are some of the main problems researchers face:

1. Complex Biological Systems:

   • The human body is very complicated. It’s hard to find one specific place to target with a drug.

2. Drug Resistance:

   • Some germs and cancer cells can become resistant to treatments. This means that the drugs that worked before may not work anymore.

3. High Failure Rate:

   • Many drugs do not make it through clinical trials because they might have unexpected side effects or just don’t work as planned.

4. Costly Research:

   • Researching and developing new drugs costs a lot of money. This can stop investors from putting money into new ideas that could be promising.

To help solve these problems, researchers can use advanced tools like CRISPR or artificial intelligence. These technologies can help them better understand how the body works. Working together in teams from different fields can also increase the chances of finding successful drug targets.
