Assay
Discovery
Cytoprint is
using its proprietary image analysis and data mining technology
for High Content Screening assay discovery. These assays are experimental
protocols for measuring changes in biological functions. Assays
are used by drug discovery scientists to screen leads for therapeutic
effects as well as adverse side effects. Each assay for a disease-related
biological function discovered by Cytoprint provides a powerful
way for scientists to find the genes and proteins that participate
in it, yielding validated targets for drug discovery.
As Cytoprint
develops these assays, we are also creating a large database of
experiments will be used to discover not only individual biological
processes but also the interrelationship between cellular processes
and their associated genes and proteins. This database will be a
tremendously valuable reference and research tool for drug discovery.
