摘要: With industry increasingly sourcing preclinical drug discovery projects from academia it is important that new academic discoveries are enabled through translation with HTS-ready assays. However, many scientifically interesting, novel molecular targets lack associated high-quality, robust assays suitable for hit finding and development. To bridge this gap, the Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance (SULSA) established a fund to develop meet quality criteria such as those of European Lead Factory. A diverse project portfolio was quickly assembled, review learnings successful outcomes showed highly cost-effective model leveraging significant follow-on resources, training early-career scientists establishing culture translational in community.
