Abstract:

Academic Drug Discovery capabilities at SciLifeLab, Sweden.

Topic:

Science for Life Laboratories (SciLifeLab) is a fully integrated national center for technology and data driven molecular life sciences. SciLifeLab comprises a wide variety of capabilities relevant for academic drug discovery of which two platforms are fully devoted to this: the SciLifeLab drug discovery and development (DDD) platform and the Functional Biology and Target Discovery platform. At the meeting I will give an overview of the SciLifeLab national Infrastructure and the overall capabilities relevant for academic drug discovery.
