Dr. Djaballah has several years of industrial experience in early drug discovery gained over the years in pharma and biotech companies. He has extensive experiences in the areas of fluorescence technology, assay development, automation/robotics, HTS, compound & screening data management, software development & novel technologies. Dr Djaballah has been involved in developing and screening several targets in various therapeutic areas, including antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, diabetes, CNS, cardiovascular, oncology & inflammation. He is currently the director of the high throughput drug screening core facility at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York. He obtained his BSc (Hons.) in biochemistry and biotechnology from the University of Birmingham, and his PhD in biochemistry from the University of Leicester, both in England.

High content assays (HCA) have successfully evolved over the course of nearly two decades now, enabling us to perform highly complex cellular based screens, sometimes involving primary and/or human embryonic stem cells. With this development and acceptance as a screening platform, came data explosion requiring special logistics typically not associated with screening operations. I will present examples of how these cell based assays have allowed us to screen for modulators of different biologies and therapeutic areas notably not achievable through the classical target based approaches. I will also discuss our technology development effort capitalizing on HCA’s uses during the entire course of discovery.
