Biosciences Screening

Head: André Maia, Ph. D.

The Biosciences Screening i3S scientific platform provides to the internal and external scientific community and industry, state of the art instruments and competence to solve challenging (biological) questions with high throughput (HT) and high content (HC) technologies. Highly qualified scientists with expertise on project evaluation, assay, and development, liquid handling, automated microscopy, multimode microplate readers, image and data analysis, work with project teams to successfully run medium-to-high throughput screens. Examples are genetic and chemical screens for target and/or drug discovery. The platform facilitates access to genetic and compound screening libraries and is actively establishing collaborations in order to receive and expand its own libraries. Training is given to all the users, and regular courses/workshops are organized for the global scientific community.
Information generated using HT/HC is highly valuable to gain a deeper understanding of complex diseases, including cancer, neurology, immunology, and infectious diseases.
