Chemical Screening Center
UCSC's Chemical Screening Center houses high-throughput screening(HTS) robotics that are used to search for biologically active compounds and siRNA targeted toward a variety of biological systems. Investigators can test up to 30,000 chemical compounds per day for biological function and/or usefulness in fighting diseases.
​
Macromolecular Structure Function Core Facility
The Macromolecular Structure Function Core Facility (MSFCF) supports researchers with state of the art instrumentation, supplies, and expertise for the structural characterization of biological macromolecules. Resources are available for crystallization and structure determination as wells as biophysical characterization of macromolecular stability and interactions.
