The MDC enables academics and SMEs involved in translational biomedical research to develop their therapeutic discovery projects and associated technologies. Their capabilities include:
- Discovery Science and Technology- Laboratory technology and expertise focused around complex cell models, target validation, biomarkers, drug delivery and pre-clinical imaging.
- Informatics- In silico methods and expertise in screening, repurposing and chemical space searching, including AI and machine learning tools.
- Virtual R&D- Industrially rigorous advice in drug discovery and the delivery of projects.
- Syndicates- New collaborative models for drug discovery centred around medical research charities and patient needs.
- Samples and Data- Brokering access to patient-consented tissue and data.
MDC works with academics and SMEs in a variety of ways, including collaborating on and supporting grant applications. Please register for the talk and 1:1 meetings here
