Access MLPCN Resources

The MLPCN resource can be accessed by any member of the scientific community in a number of ways,

If you already have an HTS-ready assay (in 96, 384, 1536-well plate or flow cytometry), then you can:

Obtain technical assistance in developing a high throughput screening (HTS) plan by clicking here
Apply through R03 Assay Implementation for peer review organized by CSR

If you have a potentially HTS-compatible assay (in test tube or 96-well plate)

Obtain technical assistance in developing a high throughput screening (HTS) plan by clicking here
Apply through R21 Assay Development for peer review organized by CSR

If you are a PI of an existing assay grant (R21, R01 etc) you can

If you wish to submit compounds to the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository you can:

There are a number of benefits to using the MLPCN for your small molecule bioassays. Some of these are highlighted below:

In collaboration with an MLPCN center you can get a small molecule probe with characteristics specified in the grant proposal. This includes the primary HTS screen and follow-up cheminformatics/informatics and medicinal chemistry.
This is possible with completely free or minimal costs to the assay provider.
Get free access to one of the largest academic screening collections around. The small molecule collection includes the (possibly) largest publicly available collection of known bioactives, a range of novel chemical classes sourced from the academic community, and a diverse set of commercially available compounds.
The network of MLPCN centers have a broad range of expertise in different assay types and formats and scientific expertise in a range of disease biology.
