| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a method of drug repositioning for cancer (a drug discovery strategy to identify new effects of existing drugs for treatment of other diseases) based on large-scale data on drugs, genes, proteins and diseases. We performed a computational prediction of anticancer effects of drugs against various cancers, and investigate the prediction result by wet-lab experiment. We were able to confirm the validity of the predicted anticancer effects of some drugs through interaction with cancer therapeutic target molecules.
