5. HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE PM WORKSHOP
Thursday 13th November 2014
1.30pm - 6.00pm
Marriott Regents Park Hotel, London, UK
A critical evaluation of cell-based assays in
pre-clinical drug discovery
Workshop Leader:
Sheraz Gul, Vice President and Head of Biology,
EuropeanScreening Port GmbH
Overview of Workshop:
A typical small molecule drug discovery project will aim to
identify chemical starting points that modify the functions of
genes, cells, or biochemical pathways. In some but not all
instances, these functions may be linked to disease processes,
and an opportunity will exist to further develop the chemical
starting points into novel therapeutic agents. We have witnessed
a resurgence of cell-based assays in pre-clinical drug discovery
and this workshop will critically evaluate both target-based
biochemical assays and cell-based assays, with the ultimate aim
of these to reduce compound attrition and the enable the
successful translation of compound activities in vivo.
Why you should attend:
The workshop is designed for scientists at all levels from core
facilities, contract research organisations within academic and
industrial research organisations engaged in early stage drug
discovery who have an interest in the development, validation
and utilisation of cell-based assays for screening against small
molecule libraries. It is anticipated that the workshop will extend
the expertise of the participants.
