MERLION TEAMS UP WITH UK FIRM IN ANTI-CANCER DRUGS RESEARCH

September 20, 2005

A Singapore-based drug discovery company, MerLion Pharmaceuticals, and UK's Cancer Research Technology (CRT) are teaming up to identify new anti-cancer drugs from natural product chemistry. Under the collaboration, MerLion will screen their natural compound collection against high throughput screens developed by scientists at CRT. The aim is to isolate new therapeutic compounds against validated cancer targets. Targets will be selected from research carried out by Cancer Research in the UK and CRT's other partners.
