High Content Screening (HCS) applications: • Target identification - Genome-wide functional siRNA screening. • Primary screening - Screening of libraries of compounds with meaningful functional cellular readout. • Secondary screening / follow up testing - Dose responses for active compounds, complementary assay to identify false positives. Time courses of the assay in live cells. • Safety assessment: In vitro tests using organ specific cells (e. g. hepatocytes, neurons) in order to get early information on the side effects of drugs. • Systems biology: Genome-wide functional siRNA screening. Recent advances in yeast biology, i. e. the availability of genome-wide collections of gene-knockout mutants, has greatly facilitated yeast-based gene function discovery. • Stem cell biology: The search for stem cell based therapies and scalable human primary cell sources for drug discovery have created an enormous need for stem cell reprogramming and differentiation screening methods.
