MCNAMARA LAB

The McNamara Lab is located at Calibr, a translation drug discovery division of The Scripps Research Institute, and is primarily focused on the discovery and development of antimalarials for the prevention and treatment of malaria, antibiotics that will permit treatment shortening for tuberculosis and novel therapies to treat and control schistosomiasis... Our biology teams are supported with experienced drug discovery personnel throughout the institute and an impressive infrastructure... Our goal, as a drug discovery unit, is to establish the necessary in vitro and in vivo workflow that will fully enable the preclinical development of novel drugs. This entails the development of miniaturized phenotypic assays in 384- or 1536-well format for high-throughput screening, designing orthogonal assays to characterize novelty and prioritization of hit compounds, and target identification.
