Hit discovery and Hit to lead approaches here!

CM 2008

Lead-Finding Screening 2008 will be co-located with the 5th Annual Compound Management & Integrity conference for ideal networking and learning. A joint pre-conference Focus Day will engage key stakeholders in ‘Improving the Interface and Workflow from Store to Screen’.

The topics were conducted to be both specific and also general. I’m very enthusiastic about the event which was more valuable for me than the 5 days spent at SBS

This is one of the most interesting/enjoyable events.

Lead-Finding Screening 2008 will explore the decision making behind selecting the right experiments to run and the right point in lead identification to produce quality, lead-like screening results.

You will discuss with other Lead Discovery, Screening and Research Directors how to develop more meaningful, biologically relevant assays and how to leverage follow-up tools for smarter data analysis.

LFS 2008 is unique because is allows you to review results of several novel assay case studies, including fragment-based, label-free and phenotypic screening, and draw conclusions on the value of novel screening platforms to your targets and hit discovery strategy.

Attend to:

Establish a balanced screening strategy including HTS, medium-throughput and cellular assays
Assess the results, value of novel screening platforms to produce leads for certain targets
Utilise effective data analysis and mining tools to make smarter lead decisions
Improve collaborative decision making with screening and research for compound screening selections and post screen viable hit series

Who will you meet at Lead-Finding Screening 2008?

LFS 2008 will present forward-thinking ideas. Don’t miss this chance to stay ahead with industry best practices and understand what strategies other companies are putting in place to find more viable drug leads. Listen to:

Dr. Frank Sams-Dodd, Head of Pre-Clinical Research, Bionomics
Dr. Rebecca Pruss, Chief Scientific Officer, Trophos
Julie Frearson, Director, Scottish Hit Discovery Facility, University of Dundee
Dr. Jonathan H Connick, Executive Director Molecular Pharmacology, Organon
Charles A. Lunn, Research Fellow, New Lead Discovery, Schering-Plough Research Institute

Don’t miss this opportunity to…

...stay ahead with industry best practices and understand what strategies other companies are putting in place to find more viable drug leads.

With a great deal of pressure on drug discovery to produce results, lead discovery scientists are having to prioritise compounds too early, without ideal hit material. Don’t let this continue to happen to you!

Before investing in any more screening platforms, you must attend LFS 2008 to assess for yourself what combination of novel approaches are valuable to your research portfolio and company strategy. Sign up today to find out what new screening methodologies and hit discovery tactics are being implemented successfully in the industry.
