Important results from the project
A novel drug screening system based on baker´s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was developed. This includes protein-protein interaction based biosensors used for high throughput drug screening.
Expected long term effects
A high-throughput screening pipeline for discovery of novel drugs was established and applied.
Approach and implementation
The project was structured into several work packages including the development of synthetic biology tools, high-throughput screenings and data analysis. In case of delays within the project mitigations strategies were followed.
