Target Identification: The process of identifying molecules that clearly play a role in a disease process.

Target Screening: Identifying molecules that may be associated with a disease process (e.g., upregulation of a particular gene identified through gene expression analysis). Screening approaches, such as data mining or genetic methods are used to identify new targets. 

Target Protein: Identification of the appropriate protein target for a given therapeutic need, identification of the distinguishing structure of that target protein, to design the structure of an ideal drug to interact with it.
