Zusammenfassung:	Techniques for using information technology in therapeutics or drug discovery. In an exemplary embodiment, techniques for determining information about the properties of substances based upon information about structure of living or non-living cells exposed to substances are provided. A method according to the present invention enables researchers and/or scientists to identify promising candidates in the search for new and better medicines or treatments using, for example, a multiple biological descriptors derived from a single cell component or marker. The method employs image analysis to extract a plurality of features (e.g., cell size, distance between cells, cell population, cell type) from an image acquisition device into the database.
