Description of Collaborative Activity: |
More than 40 participants attended the “Assay Guidance Workshop for High-Throughput Screening and Lead Discovery” on August 7, 2017, in Potomac, Maryland. Supported by NCATS, the workshop was designed to provide participants with a broad and practical perspective on how to develop and implement robust assays for early-stage drug discovery projects. Participants included researchers from four NIH centers, FDA, industry, and academia. Workshop leaders with more than 20 years of drug discovery experience covered a broad range of critical concepts underlying robust assay development and screening strategies. There were also open discussions for participants to share experiences and seek practical advice about individual research interests. |
