The Androgen Receptor (AR) is a member of the family of nuclear receptors responsive to steroid hormones. This poster aims to devise, validate and perform a preliminary automated HTS screening campaign to identify novel modulators of AR activity.

Since the end of the 1990’s, the pharmaceutical industry has seen an increased interest in biologics, especially in the therapeutic areas of oncology and inflammation. Here we present the automation of two assays for the characterization and selection of potent antibody drug candidates. Both assays rely on HTRF® detection. The first assay quantifies the binding affinity of antibodies to their target antigen, on live cells.

Epigenetic processes are attracting considerable attention in drug discovery as their fundamental roles in controlling normal cell development and contributions to disease states become more clearly defined. This work combines a fluorescence-based assay with liquid handling and dispensing instrumentation and a multi-mode reader which can be used to monitor the biological activity of the histone methyltransferase (HMT) G9a, a model system.

Monitoring and quantifying cell signaling pathways is critical for understanding the behavior of cell processes and many disease states. Monitoring and quantifying cell signaling pathways is critical for understanding the behavior of cell processes and many disease states.

The ability to determine the specific pattern of base pairs in DNA molecules is an indispensable part of contemporary molecular biology. This poster demonstrates how the vacuum filtration module available on the BioTek 405 Touch effectively cleans contaminating artifacts from DNA sequencing reactions, which wil contribute to the genomic workflow typical of many molecular biology laboratories and core facilities.

Assays that can assess the ability of a biosimilar to act in a manner similar to the original biologic have seen increased interest. This poster describes the use of a non-radioactive luminescent chemistry to simplify the assay process and provide improved data quality.

The POU octamer-binding domain transcription factor Oct-4, Stage-specific embryonic antigens (SSEAs), and Tumor rejection antigens (TRAs), are developmentally regulated during early embryogenesis.

Identified conserved domains or gene families from the ESTs could be utilised for the identification of gene-targeted markers and for development of functional markers to accelerate marker assisted backcross breeding in safflower.

UBS109, a new curcumin analogue, exhibited a potent anticancer activity, inhibiting colony formation and cancer cell growth in vitro, and tumor growth in a xenograft animal model in vivo. 2. UBS109 rapidly blocks the NF-?B signaling pathway through the

A method is presented to visualize genome-wide information from epigenetic data. It is capable to integrate additional information. Applied to mouse data consisting of H3K4, H3K27, and H3K9 trimethylation for 3 different celltypes, the dynamic behavior and interplay was investigated.
