Description of Collaborative Activity: |
NCATS Assay Guidance Manual, an eBook developed in coordination with an international editorial board and colleagues at Eli Lilly and Company, is a 32-chapter how-to guide for researchers on developing and using assays in high-throughput screening projects. In February 2015, the manual’s editors held an inaugural workshop, "Assay Guidance for High Throughput Screening and Lead Discovery," at the NCATS laboratories in Rockville, Maryland. The goal of the workshop, which was aimed at scientists who are new to the drug discovery community, was to provide a broad introduction and baseline information for developing assay methods. Participants included intramural researchers from many NIH Institutes and Centers and the Food and Drug Administration. Activities included presentations about critical fundamental concepts relevant to researchers with diverse backgrounds and interests, demonstrations and tours, and small group discussions. |
