“We are confident that the combined power of our high quality screening compounds library and Thrombotargets’ BioPlatformScreen™ Technology will generate even more new projects“ said Johan Tijhuis, Specs’ CEO.
Thrombotargets and Specs have decided to continue Drug Discovery collaboration to take advantage of their respective technologies and know-how, in the Hit to Lead and Lead Optimization process.
