HTSA - Chemical Libraries and Screening Facility
The
Chemical Library and Screening facility (CLS), part of The Burnham Institute's
High Throughput Screening and Analysis (HTSA) umbrella, is located in the
Conrad Prebys Center for Chemical Genomics, building 2. Its purpose is to
provide a high throughput screening infrastructure for the Burnham
Institute. Some of the main goals of the facility are to;
- Assist labs in implementing assays into a high
throughput screening format
- Assist labs in finding compounds that can be used as
tools to solve basic questions in cell biology, cancer biology, as well as
neurodegenerative and infectious diseases.
- Advance such compounds further down stream in the flow
of drug development
The facility is equipped with a core robotic system, as well
as has at its disposal ~54,000 compounds.
