Description of Collaborative Activity: |
Researchers from NCATS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hosted the, "Assay Guidance Workshop for High-Throughput Screening and Lead Discovery", in July 2015 at the Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building in College Park, Maryland. The goal of the workshop was to share best practices and advice for robust assay design and development with scientists who are new to the drug discovery community. More than two hundred participants attended the event, including intramural researchers from many NIH Institutes and Centers, the FDA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The workshop included seven lectures by leading drug discovery scientists and editors of the Assay Guidance Manual. A similar workshop will be held at the 2016 annual conference of the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening in San Diego in January. |
