Using bioactivity profiling to support the progression of phenotypic hits
This webinar, held on 28 June 2018, illustrated the optimisation of hits derived from a target-agnostic phenotypic screen, using a strategy based on combining bioactivity profiling and reference compound characterisation. Keynote speaker Arsenio Nueda, Head of Molecular Biology at Almirall, responded as follows to questions posed during the webinar.

Expert view: Managing the complexity of finding new targets and drugging the undruggable
Assessing targets that are unable – or rather, extremely difficult – to reach pharmacologically, has prevented researchers from achieving desired clinical successes, most notably in the realm of cancer research. However, many advances are being made to shedlight on these difficult yet desirable target areas.
