Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)

In my opinion for the best and fast networking and collaboration kick-off within the members and WGs we should think of establishing a compound library to which the WG1 members should provide new samples (at the beginning even already out of the self) and members from WG2 will evaluate against new targets. This work is essential for the successful complimentary collaboration of the other two WGs (WG3 and WG4).

 

The establishment of the compound library will work as an ice-breaker and will facilitate the fast and productive collaboration between members of different disciplines, which is main aim of COST Actions in general.

 

My contribution to the action according the above described framed can be summarized as follows:

·         Help for the establishment of the compound library if all agree on that.

·         Provide samples for the library (mainly antiproliferative, antibacterial and antipsoriatic agents).

·         Development and synthesis of new chemical entities targeting special targets, in collaboration with colleagues from WG2 and WG4.
