Abstract

This paper deals with the lead optimization phase of pharmaceutical research where a number of leads (molecules as a basis for potential drugs) are processed by different departments in order to optimize their biochemical characteristics. We depict each lead as a project and model the problem as a static multi-project selection and scheduling problem under resource constraints with the objective to maximize the weighted work performed. For solving the problem we propose two heuristics. We assess their performance in a computational study and we point out one dominant method. Furthermore we show the impact of problem parameters such as the extend to which projects can be crashed.
