Phenotypic screening identifies potential drug candidates based on their ability to modulate cells or organisms in a desired manner. However, phenotypic screening depends on models that can both induce pathological behavior and facilitate high throughput/high content screening. In this webinar from The Scientist, Molly Shoichet and Bridget Wagner will discuss strategies for creating such models and outline how they use them to identify agents to counter chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
