HTCS (High-throughput Chemical Screening) Facility
The HTCS Facility houses a Lead Discovery library currently containing ~200,000 compounds and robotics platforms to screen these small molecule chemical entities against biological targets of interest for drug discovery or for chemical biology outcomes. It has two core automation systems, the Hamilton MicroSTAR and PerkinElmer Minitrak IX systems as [...]
ACRF Victorian Centre for Functional Genomics in Cancer
A member of the RNAi Global Initiative, the Functional Genomics Group at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre is open to the Australian medical research community for the purpose of providing access to both small interfering (siRNA) and lentiviral-based short hairpin RNAi (shRNAmir) gene knockdown screens for functional genomics studies.
CSIRO Recombinant Protein Production Facility
The ISO9001 certified Recombinant Protein Production Facility (RPPF) provides Australian researchers with subsidised access to state-of-the-art facilities for large scale protein production, process development and optimisation using mammalian cell culture, fungal and microbial expression systems.
