Objectives and disease focus

This partnership, which started on March 1st 2015, comprises Universitites, Hospitals, Pharmaceutical Companies, Biotechs and Disease Foundations working towards:

  1. Generating protein based research tools (e.g. structures, assays)
  2. Generating chemical and antibody probes
  3. Using patient-cell derived assays for target definition and validation
  4. Making all reagents and knowledge available through Open Source
  5. Significantly contribute to understanding of complex disease systems
  6. Promote drug discovery and development
