Excellent center for drug discovery (ECDD) was set up under the collaborative efforts among Thailand Center of Excellence for Life Science (TCELS), Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University (MURA) and Faculty of Science Mahidol University (MUSC) which operate in the field of pharmaceutical research/drug discovery. ECDD develops the tools specifically for understanding the biopharmaceutical processes. The operating center equipts with high-throughput and high-content screening (HTS/HCS) automation provides the research community with cost-advantage, high-technology instrumentation, and service.

   High-throughput screening (HTS) is an important step in the target drug discovery and involves miniaturization and automation of bioassays that thousands of compounds can be tested. ECDD also ultimately becomes the depository center for Thai natural compounds together with the therapeutic mechanism study to prevent and treat diseases for maximizing global health benefits.

   ECDD supports biochemical research by consulting, designing, optimizing and running high-throughput assays that help to achieve your experiment goals.

   ECDD laboratory will operate as a fee-for-service facility with an industry perspective to accelerate drug discovery efforts at the lowest cost structure.
