11-03-2005: The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), located in Dresden, Germany, and Cellomics, a unit of Fisher Biosciences, recently announced a joint collaboration in the field of High Content Screening (HCS). The institute serves as a hub for numerous academic-industry collaborations in the field of HCS for drug discovery. Cellomics is recognized as the creator of HCS and is the market leader in the field. Cellomics provides a unique cell-based platform for its global clients in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic institutions.

According to Daniel J. Calvo, President of Cellomics, the collaboration objectives include a mix of applications and new product development, as well as establishing a key demonstration center for Europe. "Max Planck is a perfect partner for us," stated Calvo. "They have tremendous experience and capabilities in this area and their strong ties to key academic centers across Europe are a real plus. This collaboration will provide valuable input to help drive the development of our product and applications portfolio for the growing academic market."

As part of the Agreement, MPI-MCBG has purchased the Cellomics' ArrayScan(R) VTI HCS Reader along with its complete portfolio of BioApplications and HCi(TM) informatics software.

    Cell cultures from a machine

    The human genome has been decoded. Of all the puzzles it contains, though, many remain unsolved. We know that the genome provides the blueprint for various proteins, the building blocks of each and every cell. But what role do they play? Which proteins control cell division in a healthy bod ... more

    A fingerprint for genes

    Cells may not have a mouth, but they still need to ingest substances from the external environment. If this process - known as endocytosis - is affected, it can lead to infectious diseases or cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, Huntington’s and diabetes. In cooperation with the Center for Inf ... more
