AstraZeneca has an ambition to create a porous organisation, seamlessly collaborating with external partners. This desire has led to the establishment of the AstraZeneca-MRC UK Centre for Lead Discovery, ultimately located in the future R&D centre in Cambridge, UK. 

This new global screening centre encompassing AstraZeneca, Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK and additional scientific partners has created the unique opportunity to completely re-develop our screening infrastructure and its capabilities, resulting in the concept of our next generation of HTS automation to deliver the varied capacity and assays formats across this partnership. This presentation will describe the generation, use and support for this new generation of HTS screening. 
 

Learning Objectives: 

1. To understand the complexity of a High Throughput Screening laboratory
2. How collaborations can drive further success
