The grant is entitled ‘A new tool to support drug discovery: native LESA mass spectrometry (NESA)’.  The research will develop a new analytical tool to support drug discovery.  The tool, known as native liquid extraction surface analysis (NESA) mass spectrometry, combines two emerging mass spectrometry techniques, and has the potential to revolutionise the drug discovery pipeline by addressing a key challenge, namely the ability to make measurements in the full complexity of the biological environment.  Project partners are AstraZeneca.
