      A test group definitely. Computers are very useful in research for collecting and analysing information for example. Computers can also predict things that help us in research, but it’s only ever a prediction – it always has to be tested in a real experiment.

      It depends on what you’re doing. Most drug discovery and testing relies on both techniques, you couldn’t do without either.

      This depends on what you are trying to find out and what stage of development the drug is at. They are both very useful in different ways
