On Tuesday 30 November, members of the European Lead Factory (ELF) will participate in a webinar organised by the Young Scientists Network (YSN) of the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology (EFMC).
The topic of the session is “Biological Testing of Hit Compounds”. Dr Vera Nies, Programme Manager at Lygature (the coordinating partner of the ELF) will give an introduction to the European Lead Factory.

The ELF presentations will be complemented by a talk by Dr Jean Quancard, from Novartis, Switzerland, who will illustrate the power of screening by presenting a case study on how MALT1 protease inhibitors were identified by high throughput screening.
