This full-day workshop will cover a broad range of critical concepts underlying assay development and implementation for high-throughput screening (HTS) and lead discovery projects. This workshop is designed to disseminate critical information about the implementation of robust assay methods and is particularly relevant for researchers developing molecular probes or clinical candidates. Many of the instructors have 20 to 30 years of experience in the field of drug discovery and will share information not readily found in a classroom or published material outside of the Assay Guidance Manual (AGM) eBook.
Scientists from academia, industry, and government involved in bioassay development for drug discovery and development are encouraged to attend. The AGM eBook and this workshop will be a valuable resource for individuals planning or beginning to develop methods for high- or low-throughput screening that are amenable to automation using appropriate statistical and operational concepts. The workshop will be useful for everyone from early career researchers to experienced investigators who wish to learn about the latest assay concepts for HTS and lead optimization.
Participants will learn best practices for the development and implementation of robust assays?and?gain a broad, practical perspective on assay development and data analysis. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to seek practical advice about individual research challenges.
