Endocrine Society meeting attendees, please complete the Molecular Libraries survey at:
here. This survey is to help NIH gather information from the public on the effectiveness of the Molecular Libraries program to meet the needs of the scientific community and to learn what areas of the program could be changed to better meet those needs. We would appreciate input from investigators who have used the program as well as those that have not but may use the program in the future. Please complete the survey before July 13, 2009 when the survey will close.

Overview

The Molecular Libraries Program (MLP; an NIH Roadmap Initiative) aims to enhance chemical biology efforts through High Throughput Screening (HTS) to obtain small molecule probes effective at modulating a given biological process or disease state. More …

Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers (MLPCN)

The flagship of the MLP is the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers, a network of national laboratories, whose aim is generate novel small molecule probes by performing HTS, secondary screens and medicinal chemistry. The assays for these probes are sourced from the scientific community.

Accessing the MLPCN
The scientific community can access the resources of the MLPCN through various funding initiatives that are part of the MLP. More …

Small Molecule Probes
The small molecule probes already identified in the pilot phase of the MLP can be found here.

Access To Results
The MLPCN (as well as the pilot phase initiative) is a public resource and as such all the biological data generated as well as the identity of the small molecules (300,000+ compounds) is in the public domain. More …

The Centers
Find details about the MLPCN centers here.

Other Supporting MLP Initiatives

The Molecular Libraries Program has other initiatives intended to further develop chemical biology. These initiatives are focused on technology development and contain future funding information. More …

Further Development of Small Molecule Probes

NIH has many pre-existing and new efforts to further develop small molecule probes resulting from the MLPCN effort. More …
