Using phenotypic screens as a strategy to identify potential drug candidates has gained renewed attention in recent years. The aim is to identify chemical matter that corrects disease-relevant cellular phenotypes with the potential to be truly disease-modifying. To this end, Evotec has established innovative and novel disease-relevant screening paradigms. This webinar will provide insight into Evotec’s approach to phenotypic screening for hit ID in the context of complex & novel biological systems.

Understanding the mechanism and binding partner(s) of any hit compounds identified from phenotypic screening has posed a challenge for many years. Evotec’s Cellular Target Profiling™ approach combines quantitative mass spectrometry based chemical proteomics to identify the target(s) of small molecule hit compounds. The technology uses cells to reveal a compound’s cellular binding partners including binding affinities thus allowing deciphering the network of intracellular targets and enabling lead optimization.

The webinar will focus on:

Use of novel disease-relevant cellular systems for hit ID including the use of stem cells
Characterization and prioritization of hits for target identification post HTS
Target deconvolution through mass spec-based Cellular Target Profiling
