Resumé

Over the past decade tremendous progress has to achieve in acquisition, storage, search and data discovery using big data.

Denmark has a good position in use of big data. One of the areas where big data has significant promise is in drug discovery and analysis.

With the strong pharmaceutical industry in Denmark it is only natural to try to utilize big data methods for drug discovery both in terms of protein folding (which is already mature), but also in design of new types of drugs.
