On completion of this module students will have a sound understanding of the principles of automated high content screening microscopy, and how this technique can be applied to understand cell function and identify lead therapeutic compounds. Students will appreciate the variety of HCS-associated instrumentation available, and the power of this approach to systematically analyse cells on a large-scale. They will also understand and have practical experience of the pipelines of assay development, screening workflow and image analysis.
