NCATS Robot Lab
One of the first steps in drug development and toxicity testing is creating test systems (assays) to evaluate the effects of chemical compounds on cellular, molecular or biochemical processes of interest. Investigators from the biomedical research community submit ideas for assays to National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences researchers, who then assist with high-throughput small molecule screening using a robotic system.
