EU-OS FI

Chemical biology, the development of new small molecules with specific biological activities, is of tremendous value as the starting point for understanding biological processes and for discovering new drugs, agrochemicals and other commercially valuable bioactive agents. EU-OPENSCREEN ERIC (EU-OS, www.eu-openscreen.eu) provides open access to world class chemical biology infrastructures, technologies and expertise, with a compound collection of > 100 000 compounds and open database. As founding member, Finland has a key role in EU-OS and Finnish membership in EU-OS brings domestic scientists outstanding opportunities and access to technologies, services and resources not currently available in Finland. In this RI development project, we focus on enhancing our RI's capabilities in providing services in technology areas which are foreseen to provide novel research possibilities and potential for scientific breakthroughs for the users of our RI at national and international level.
