Molecular Libraries Special Interest Groups Meeting

December 13, 2008
At the American Society for Cell Biology Meeting
San Francisco, CA

Registration is now open: click here to register online. (Meeting registration is free.)

During this session, attendees will hear from MLPCN personnel and biologists who have used these freely available network resources. Speakers will share their experiences with the assay development aspect of the program and describe their specific projects. These projects cover research areas that are of particular interest to meeting attendees, including chromatin dynamics, stem cell development, and cancer biology.

High Throughput Screening for Neuroscience Meeting

November 14, 2008
At the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting
Washington, DC

Registration is now open: click here to register online. (Meeting registration is free.)

The High Throughput Screening for Neuroscience is a satellite event of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience on November 14, 2008 in Washington DC. This meeting will provide a scientific forum on the burgeoning research activities applying high-throughput screening (HTS) and chemical technologies in neuroscience research. The aims are to enable the rapid translation of new scientific knowledge into tangible benefits for public health. The meeting organizer, NIH Roadmap Molecular Libraries Program (MLP), supports the discovery of new small molecular entities or classes to facilitate basic research and accelerate the development of therapeutics. Meeting participants will learn about state of the art HTS technologies and important progress made by applying HTS approaches.
