Internet-based virtual research of marine drug / 中国海洋药物

A deep impact on the development of marine pharmaceutical science will be benefit- ed from the inter-disciplined combination of marine science and pharmaceutical science with information technology. Applications of such technologies as obtaining information trough Internet,database-on-the-Inter and virtual reality will greatly modify and accelerate the processes of discovering and developing marine drugs derived from marine bioresources. The concept of "virtual research on marine drug" was proposed for the first time in this paper, and the first professional net on marine drugs was build. The virtual research center for marine drugs was also build on the Internet and will be made more resourceful in the future.
