Stanford University School of Medicine

	The High-Throughput Bioscience Center (HTBC) in the Stanford University School of Medicine was created in 2003 with funding from the Department of Chemical and Systems Biology (formerly Molecular Pharmacology). The HTBC's mission is to provide researchers at Stanford with the ability to run high-throughput chemical, cDNA, siRNA, and high-content screens. Research approaches that were previously done exclusively in industry are being used in academia to advance basic research. This high-throughput screening (HTS) center will allow Stanford researchers and others to discover novel modulators of targets that otherwise would not be practical in industry. The center incorporates instrumentation, databases, compound libraries, and personnel whose previous sole domains were in industry. Among our instrumentation is an Axon ImageXpress with live cell option, a Caliper Life Sciences SciClone ALH3000 and the Molecular Devices Analyst GT and FlexStation II 384. We have over 125,000 small molecules for compound screens, 8000 cDNAs for genomic screens, and the full human siARRAY siRNA SMARTpool library from Dharmacon.
