Overview
We provide plate-based assay services, screening resources, expertise, automation along with both siRNA and small-molecule compound libraries suitable for cell-based and biochemical assays. Experienced personnel work in partnership with researchers to develop and/or automate assay procedures for just a few plates through full-scale HTS.
The High-Throughput Screening Center is a Core facility within the Center for Drug Discovery and is housed within the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. This resource is available to the entire Washington University community as well as other academic institutions and private industry.
