摘要

More and more evidence show that the targets of traditional Chinese medicine are a resource pool that contributes to the modern medicine. A key aspect of medicine research is to address the issue how to look for a clue of potential therapeutic molecular targets by interdisciplinary approaches. With the development of high throughput technology, a considerable amount of data has been emerging. The application of these big data is not so efficient as the generation of them. This paper attempts to show that interdisciplinary analysis contributes to the discovery of targets at the initial stage of drug research, indicating that it is necessary to explore the drug research and development with interdisciplinary approaches between integrative medicine and bioinformatics.
