	The ICCB-Longwood Screening Facility at Harvard Medical School assists academic researchers in carrying out high-throughput screens of chemical and RNAi libraries to identify new tools for biological research. The ICCB-Longwood screening facility is built around modular work stations, and assays are generally carried out in 384-well plates. The ICCB-Longwood compound collection is continuously growing, and over 200,000 compounds are currently available for screening. Whole human genome and mouse druggable genome siRNA libraries are also available for screening. The facility employs a staff-assisted screening model, in which investigators using the facility are provided with access to compound and siRNA libraries, and training in the use of some instruments, such as liquid handling equipment, plate readers, and screening microscopes. Staff members run all complex automation for screens. More information about ICCB-L can be found at our website: http://iccb.med.harvard.edu.
