Tailored R&D solutions. Compound profiling assays and HTS.

I managed the daily operation for biological assays and high throughput screening at the UW SMSF.https://cancer.wisc.edu/research/resources/ddc/smsf/The Small Molecule Screening Facility (SMSF) fosters collaborative drug discovery research between chemists, biologists and physician scientists that leads to the identification of new small molecules that inhibit disease targets and phenotypes in biochemical and cellular models relevant to any therapeutic area.

Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder occurring primarily in girls. We have generated iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells) from several Rett syndrome patient fibroblast cell lines. Currently we are using iPS cells as a model for studying the disease.You can read more about our research in this article:Ananiev G, Williams EC, Li H, Chang Q, 2011 Isogenic Pairs of Wild Type and Mutant Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Lines from Rett Syndrome Patients as In Vitro Disease Model.
