CurrentResearch at the GSK-Waltham site is focused exclusively on Encoded Library Technology (ELT) - a new approach to early-stage drug discovery which is complementary to traditional high-throughput screening. I manage a team of 15 chemists focused on the development of DNA-compatible reactions and subsequent application to the design and synthesis of DNA-encoded libraries (DELs). For an overview of Encoded Library Technology (ELT) and some representative hits, see:Discovery of Highly… Show more Research at the GSK-Waltham site is focused exclusively on Encoded Library Technology (ELT) - a new approach to early-stage drug discovery which is complementary to traditional high-throughput screening.
