Domainex has therefore launched its Discovery STAR award, to support the early stages of drug discovery for a chosen number of applicants to the scheme. At Domainex’s discretion, selected applicants will then be provided with drug discovery advice and/or virtual hit screening free of charge in order to prepare applicants for funding applications to schemes such as the Wellcome Trust SDDI, Technology Strategy Board, Biocatalyst Fund or MRC DPFS.1

Domainex will operate this scheme twice per year. The next round deadline is shown below. If you have questions, please contact
