Who can use the ICCB-Longwood screening facility?
The ICCB-Longwood screening facility is available only to academic collaborators.Currently Harvard Medical School and Harvard Hospital-affiliated researchers are eligible to use the ICCB-Longwood Screening Facility. The facility shares many resources with the National Screening Laboratory for the Regional Centers of Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Disease (NSRB; supported by a grant from the NIAID). Most investigators using the ICCB-Longwood/NSRB facilities are in the process of developing or carrying out high throughput screens of small molecule libraries. However, as the screening schedule allows, we also host collaborators carrying out genome-wide RNAi screens, and individual investigators, usually from the Harvard Longwood Medical Area, who wish to use our plate readers or liquid handling instruments to carry out small, non-screening projects.
