Who's Doing FBLD, 2014 Version

It's been a while since we updated this list.  The first list had 24 companies, the second 44.  From 2011 to now, what's changed?

I have divided the list into (primarily) providers of services and pharmaceutical companies. This does not mean that that providers don't do their own discovery, or work in a mixed-model.  I have annotated those companies which were not previously on the list.  Please note that this does not necessarily mean they were not doing FBDD previously, they just were not listed.If we missed someone, let us know and we will update the post.

The Institute of Cancer Research, London - an academic college of The University of London - also conducts a lot of fragment-based discovery to support their drug design efforts with its own fragment screening library:
