Obtain Novel Drug Approvals
Project description
Drug NME - Get New Molecular Entities From the FDA
What is this?
Drug approval data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a valuable resource for researchers, pharmaceutical professionals, and enthusiasts. Keeping track can give insight into trends from the department or what m ay be in the next in the drug pipeline.
This project, Drug NME, seeks to collect tools to allow users to quickly obtain this information and generate informative charts. Much of the code can be demoed here.
More information on the project and the hurdles I had on making the project will be forthcoming.
Tools
Drug NME obtains information from two methods - Web Scraping the FDA CDER website for New Drug Approvals or utilizing API from two sources - the OpenFDA or the Guide To Pharmacology.
