Center for Chemical Genomics

We provide high-throughput screening of extensive small molecule, natural product and siRNA libraries for basic biology and drug discovery projects.

About Us

Aaron Robida, Ph.D., in the Center for Chemical Genomics

The Center for Chemical Genomics provides high-throughput screening of extensive small molecule and natural product — along with assay development and optimization — for basic biology and drug discovery projects. Our dedicated staff has years of experience in academic drug discovery and within the pharmaceutical industry, allowing us to provide expert guidance to researchers through every stage of a project. Our services are available to U-M researchers and to outside academic and industry partners. If you're a new user, please visit our getting started guide.

Our Services

Scientist conducting screening

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. (If it has been done, we can do it.)
