The authoritative reference on HCS in biological and pharmaceutical research High Content Screening (HCS) has been a leading methodology in toxicology studies for years. Recent advances have broadened the range of applications to encompass new areas.
The authoritative reference on High Content Screening (HCS) in biological and pharmaceutical research, this guide covers: the basics of HCS: examples of HCS used in biological applications and early drug discovery, emphasizing oncology and neuroscience; the use of HCS across the drug development pipeline; and data management, data analysis, and systems biology, with guidelines for using large datasets. With an accompanying CD-ROM, this is the premier reference on HCS for researchers, lab managers, and graduate students.

STEVEN A. HANEY, PHD, is a Principal Scientist in the Department of Biological Technologies at Wyeth Research, where he has developed programs for oncology drug development, built a HCS program for use in target validation and drug discovery, and prepared gene family-based target validation strategies. Dr. Haney has authored many peer-reviewed articles and has spoken at numerous conferences on HCS.
