An unbiased cell morphology-based screen for new, biologically active small molecules. by Masahiro Tanaka, Raynard Bateman, Daniel Rauh, Eugeni Vaisberg, Shyam Ramachandani, Chao Zhang, Kirk C Hansen, Alma L Burlingame, Jay K Trautman, Kevan M Shokat, Cynthia L Adams

“…We have implemented an unbiased cell morphology-based screen to identify small-molecule modulators of cellular processes using the Cytometrix (TM) automated imaging and analysis system. This assay format provides unbiased analysis of morphological effects induced by small molecules by capturing phenotypic readouts of most known classes of pharmacological agents and has the potential to read out pathways for which little is known. …”
