Outline
We aim to identify seed compounds for drug development, which are active on drug target molecules, through HTS of large compound libraries.Subjects
- High throughput screening (HTS) using in vitro and cell-based assay systems
- High content screening based on cell imaging
- HTS for compounds that recover yeast phenotypes induced by expression of human genes
