We're excited to welcome the new director of the CCG, Andrew Alt, Ph.D.
Alt has outstanding professional experience in high-throughput screening, having led one of the two HTS facilities at Bristol-Myers Squibb for 8 years, and supported all therapeutic areas in this role. He is also a returning Wolverine!
Our Services
We offer high-throughput screening of extensive small molecule, natural product and siRNA libraries — along with assay development and optimization — for basic biology and drug discovery projects.
We have more than 160,000 diverse small molecule compounds, a unique library of more than 33,000 natural product extracts, an extensive siRNA library and a growing library of FDA-approved compounds for drug repurposing projects.
Explore MScreen, a cost-effective, web-based data storage and analysis tool we developed to help users streamline the hit-to-lead decision process.
CGG Seminar Series
The center hosts regularly seminars on topics related to high-throughput screening. Please join us.
