Does your research have the potential to lead to a new medicine? Would you like to partner with a leading pharmaceutical company to screen your targets to find compounds that may progress your research towards drug discovery?

A small number of winning projects will be selected.

• GSK will screen your target using our sophisticated lead discovery technologies, such as High Throughput Screening (HTS) and or Encoded Library Technologies (ELT)
• Compounds discovered from the screen may provide novel compounds to progress your research and or form the basis for further collaboration with GSK
• Up to $75,000AUD funding will be available to you to support the collaboration
• You’ll work directly with a highly skilled team of GSK scientists
