for your early drug discovery project

The Assay Development Fund supports scientists in the Netherlands that are working with or aiming to work with a charity for an early drug discovery project, by providing expertise in assay development.

With slots at the European Lead Factory (ELF) now open for charities and foundations, the academic departments and start-ups that cooperate together with these charities can now receive the help of Pivot Park Screening Centre for the development of their assays.
