Edinburgh Drug Discovery

Academic Collaborations

We’ve worked with colleagues at home and abroad to deliver outstanding academic research projects.

Edinburgh Drug Discovery - imaging

Our academic research collaborations range from the development and characterisation of novel compounds, to high throughput screening and quantitative imaging. In addition, we maintain our commitment to leadership in the field of drug discovery research through work with professional associations. Here is a sampling of some of our recent collaborative work in academia:
