From the director
At WEHI, we are motivated by a clear purpose: to make scientific discoveries and transform them into better health outcomes.
The National Drug Discovery Centre (NDDC) is playing a critical role in this journey. Streamlining the drug development process, it allows us to test hundreds of thousands
of compounds against new disease targets in rapid time.
The NDDC helps take brilliant ideas where they need to go: to the patient in the clinic.
Headquartered at WEHI and established with vital government and philanthropic support, it is changing how discoveries are translated into potential treatments.
As the nation’s premier small molecule drug screening facility, the NDDC provides researchers from across Australia with access to cutting-edge technologies that would otherwise only be available in major pharmaceutical companies. By working together, we are boosting the national capacity for therapeutic innovation.
