Good morning! This week we embark on our first quest: Module 1.
What is High-throughput (HT) Discovery Science? What techniques are high-throughput? In Module 1 we will define key terms, list applications of high-throughput screening, and evaluate several myths about high-throughput screening and the use of liquid handlers.
Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
-
Define high-throughput or high-content screening/discovery, phenotypic cell-based screen, lead-like properties, and hit rate. (CO 1)
-
List three applications of high-throughput screening. (CO 1)
-
Discuss and evaluate several myths about HTS. (CO 1)
-
Describe the advantages and limitations of using a liquid handler to set up a specific assay. (CO 3)
To complete this module, you will need to:
-
Watch Module 1 video (27 min)
-
Respond to TopHat questions (7 questions, 15 min)
-
