LINXS theme: INTEGRATIVE PHARMACOLOGY AND DRUG DISCOVERY (Biomedical Imaging working group)

IPDD focuses on various aspects of pharmacology, going from structure-based drug design of both small molecules and macromolecular drugs to their interplay with tissue and its formulation. For this we will in particular investigate macromolecular drugs such as antibodies. The structure-function relationship of human drug target proteins and tissue will be explored both in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo, utilizing X-rays at and neutrons.

It aims to facilitate the use of imaging from MAX IV and ESS for drug discovery and development. Imaging of tissue ex-vivo as well as in-vivo imaging will be within the scope. In the working group and its arranged activities scientists from academia and industry can gather and learn about synchrotron and neutron imaging, drug
development and how imaging can benefit the drug development process.
