Discussion

The Drug Discovery Unit (DDU) is a fully operational, fully integrated drug discovery group working across multiple diseases based within a UK university. Our multi-disciplinary teams work closely together in an integrated management structure, operating more like a biotech company than a traditional academic group.
In this presentation I will outline the approach that the DDU has taken in integrating and utilising acoustic technology for drug discovery projects. The successes and learnings from our experience in compound management and the extension into using the machines for assays will be covered.
