Min Li, M.D., with the assistance of Seth Blackshaw, M.D., oversees an institutional core facility that uses robotic equipment and personnel to perform high throughput screens with small molecules such as drugs and chemicals. This facility will extend these capabilities to testing genes (cDNA’s) and gene blockers (shRNA’s) in the same high throughput fashion. These capabilities will allow Johns Hopkins University neuroscience investigators to conduct tests in a dish, allowing them to rapidly identify the roles of specific genes in brain cells.
