title: Future trends in screening technology for drug discovery.
abstract: The last decade showed a further upsurge in screening technology advance and innovation. Notably, the establishment of ultra high-throughput screening facilities led to an explosion of screening capacities. However, in the last 2 years, a turning point in screening philosophy can be observed worldwide. Increasingly more companies are reducing the size of screening campaigns, while increasing the emphasis on data quality and relevance. This article tries to investigate how screening technologies will develop in the ever-changing landscape of drug discovery.
