Drug Discovery Innovations 2015- Cell Based Assays, Phenotypic Screening and Pioneering Technologies will provide you with the latest leading-edge strategies being pursued to improve target identification and validation in early stage drug discovery and to improve R&D efficiency. The 2015 programme will address issues, breakthroughs and developments to improve your day to day role, identifying better quality candidate drugs to increase translation to clinical results.
2015 Programme Highlights:
Sourcing and Designing More Physiologically Relevant Cellular Assays for Implementation in HTS Programmes
Overcoming Patient Variability
Application of Genome Editing
Practical Strategies for Developing 3D Cell Culture Assays for Use in Drug Discovery
Phenotypic Screening and Complex Disease Assays
Target Deconvolution Strategies in Phenotypic Screening
Combination Screening
Image Analysis and Data Collection, Storage and Interpretation
Open-Access Collaboration in Accelerating Early Novel advances in assay development and screening technologies to improve lead discovery and increase correlation to in vivo and clinical results.
13 Industry Case Studies:
Benchmark your screening strategies against leading industry figures including GSK, Novartis, Roche, Pfizer, Janssen and Actelion
