Service Description

The CRO was used to screen a library (provided by us) of compounds against an assay built in-house. They were to identify any potential leads and then continue with a secondary screen.

What Went Well

They are well placed at doing this work for us and have done many things like this in the past for us.

What Could Be Improved

The speed of the tech transfer is still not ideal and could be improved so we can get results more quickly

Lessons Learned from the Experience

They do not think outside the box and this is a gap for many CROs. They often don't think how to improve or change things.
