Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network

Part of this initiative is the Molecular Libraries Screenings Centers Network, a collection of screening centers at universities. Additional information on this screening service can be found at http //nihroadmap.nih.gov/molecularlibraries. 

The Molecular Libraries Screening Center Network (MLSCN) Identifying Chemical Probes of Biological Systems... 

The NIH has set up a consortium called the Molecular Libraries Screening Center Network (MLSCN), which performs HTS on assays provided by the research community. It currently has more than 100,000 chemically diverse compounds. This is an initiative of the Molecular Libraries Roadmap, which also has another two components Cheminformatics and Technology Development. The aim is to generate a comprehensive database of chemical compounds and their bioactivities to enhance the capability for the development of new drug entities.
