ISIDORe is a large, European project to combat current and future disease outbreaks and pandemics. The network builds on the combined capacities of 17 large, biomedical research infrastructures. EU-OPENSCREEN is part of the consortium and specifically offers services within diagnostics and therapeutic discoveries. The services are fully funded by Horizon Europe.
This is an excellent opportunity to collaborate with EU-OPENSCREEN and us! If you are carrying out research in this area, please note the current open call for services. DTU offers medicinal chemistry support (e.g. SAR, hit-to-lead chemistry and lead optimization). Please have a look here for more info and consider applying for a project here.
If you have any question, don’t hesitate to contact us at
info@dk-openscreen.dk.
