High Content Screening
for Therapeutics Discovery
Institut Pasteur Korea (IPK), in collaboration with the Pasteur Network (PN), is pleased to announce the 2025 Signature Training Course on High Content Screening (HCS) for Therapeutics Discovery. This course offers a comprehensive learning platform for individuals working in or interested in chemical biology, particularly in learning and applying best practices in designing and conducting cell-based assays using automated microscopy for drug discovery.
This course is open to a broader audience, from newcomers to seasoned research scientists familiar with the technology and those seeking unbiased approaches to HCS and its application. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, from the foundational principles of HCS to the implementation of large-scale drug screens, enabling participants to develop practical skills that are directly applicable to their own research.
