Acquisition of Equipment for High Throughput Compound Screening

该奖项是为了收购集成的液体处理机器人/多孔板阅读器和质谱仪。这些仪器将提供给受过培训的用户每天近24小时，并将促进跨化学和生命科学的多个研究项目的整合，为从本科生到高级研究人员的研究人员。 这些仪器将位于该大学的高通量筛选设施中，该设施还拥有超过160，000种化合物。这种新仪器和化合物的结合将使研究人员能够筛选他们正在研究的任何生物系统的小分子干扰物。来自这所大学和周边机构的本科生将贡献化合物并使用高通量筛选设施中的仪器。访问少数民族学生，研究生和本科生，谁花了夏天在主要用户的实验室工作，也将使用这些仪器。此外，“化学生物学”即将成为大学的本科专业，将使用这些仪器。

This award is for the acquisition of an integrated liquid-handling robot/multi-well plate reader and a mass spectrometer. These instruments will be available to trained users nearly 24 hours per day and will facilitate integration of multiple research programs across the chemical and life sciences, for researchers ranging from undergraduate students to senior investigators. The instruments will be located in the university's High Throughput Screening Facility, which also houses more than 160,000 chemical compounds. This combination of new instruments and chemical compounds will allow researchers to screen for small molecule perturbers of any biological system they are studying. Undergraduates from this university and surrounding institutions will both contribute compounds and use the instrumentation in the High Throughput Screening Facility. Visiting minority students, both graduate and undergraduates, who spend summers working in major users' labs, will also use the instruments. In addition, "Chemical Biology" will soon be an undergraduate major at the university and will use these instruments.
