Funded Activity Summary

Global positioning system for small molecules: accelerating lead discovery. This project aims to establish a tool to accelerate lead generation from very small molecules. This will shift the paradigm in the identification of small molecules that can serve as lead compounds for the development of specific probes or drugs. This project offers a new strategy to rapidly generate lead compounds from a library of compound fragments. The new approach is expected to facilitate identification and development of new lead molecules, drawing on advances made in the field of fragment-based lead discovery, which is increasingly used in the pharmaceutical industries. The tools developed can also be applied for imaging of biological processes. By developing new technologies, the project should deliver intellectual property with potential for commercialisation.
