Abstract

Drug discovery today requires the focused use of lab automation and other resources in Combinatorial Chemistry and High-Throughput Screening (HTS). The ultimate value of both Combinatorial Chemistry and High-Throughput Screening technologies and the lasting impact they will have on the drug discovery process is a chapter that remains to be written. Central to their success and impact is how well they are integrated with each other and with the rest of Drug Discovery - and Informatics is key to this success. This presentation will focus on Informatics and the integration of the disciplines of combinatorial chemistry and HTS in modern drug discovery. Examples from experiences at Neurogen from the last five years will be described.
