title: Statistical design and application to combinatorial chemistry.
abstract: Combinatorial chemistry has matured from its early production-belt image of synthesizing the maximum number of compounds in the minimum amount of time. It is now a discovery technology driven by good experimental design, with a focus on producing high numbers of quality drug-like compounds. Complex statistical and optimization algorithms are routinely applied to ensure that the library is designed with the best chance of achieving its goals, while also facilitating efficient synthesis.
