This ebook has articles on the use of screening to identify COVID-19 drugs and how assessing compound activity could accelerate drug discovery.
Screening is a vital tool in a researcher’s kit to identify new, or repurpose existing, drugs. In this ebook, learn about how screening can be applied and how challenges relating to the method can be overcome.
In this collection of articles, Dr Matthew Lloyd explains why false positive hits can arise during drug discovery and Professor Arvind Patel describes a new project at the University of Glasgow to screen for COVID-19 therapeutics. Elsewhere, discover how drugs targeting phosphodiesterase 3A to treat sarcoma were identified and why a collaboration between the Francis Crick Institute and GlaxoSmithKline for covalent fragment screening has been formed.
