From Genes to Images: the Unexpected Power of Cell Images to Decode Drug Mechanism

From Genes to Images: the Unexpected Power of Cell Images to Decode Drug Mechanism

Introduction The search for new medicines has long been dominated by two main strategies: target-based and phenotypic screening. While target-based approaches focus on a single, well-understood biomarker, phenotypic screening takes a broader view, testing drugs...
5 Reasons Why Drug Discovery Leaders Choose Live Cells for their Cell Painting Assay

5 Reasons Why Drug Discovery Leaders Choose Live Cells for their Cell Painting Assay

Context Multiple drug discovery and academic groups have adopted image-based profiling in the last decade for many good reasons: akin to other profiling methods like transcriptomics or proteomics, it captures rich biological data that’s overlapping and...
