Major shifts in the way medicinal chemists discover novel medicines have evolved over the past few decades. Technological advances have significantly increased the ability to triage compound design and synthesize compounds faster. New approaches in structural biology have enhanced our ability to visualize molecules and their corresponding binding sites. Drug discovery teams have moved from local to global and our deepened understanding of biology has extended our reach. This lecture will explore past trends in drug discovery, current status of the industry, and the future of medicinal chemistry.<br/>
