Abstract

The rapid advancements in pharmaceutical research and development demand a systematic transformation in pharmacy education to align academic training with industry needs. In this research, we explore the integration of BioSolveIT’s computational tools, such as the SeeSAR software program, into pharmacy curricula as a means to bridge the gap between academia and modern pharmaceutical industries. BioSolveIT’s innovative software enables drug discovery processes like molecular docking, ligand-based drug design (LBDD), and fragment-based lead discovery, which have become increasingly important in contemporary pharmaceutical discoveries. Despite their widespread use in industry, these tools remain underutilized in pharmacy education, leaving graduates unprepared for roles requiring computational expertise. By incorporating BioSolveIT into coursework, our students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies, enhancing their understanding of molecular interactions and drug optimization. Therefore, this study highlights the benefits of integrating computational tools into pharmacy education, including improved student competency, alignment with industry trends, and enhanced career readiness. However, challenges such as limited faculty training, curriculum time constraints, and resource availability must be addressed to ensure successful implementation. An analysis of pharmacy curricula across the country’s governorates confirms the necessity for pharmacy programs to adopt integrated curricula based on cases that combine basic pharmaceutical sciences with practical applications of modern tools. In conclusion, this research highlights the transformative potential of BioSolveIT in equipping future pharmacists with the skills needed to succeed in the evolving pharmaceutical landscape, drive innovation, and meet healthcare demands nationally and globally.
