The quest for small molecules that can have a big impact will be the focus of the next Dean's Workshop at the School of Medicine, to be held Friday, Nov. 10.
Titled "Panning for Gold: High-Throughput Screening of Small Molecules at Yale," the workshop will take place 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Anlyan Center, 300 Cedar St. It is free and open to the Yale community.
Small molecules can serve as valuable research tools and aid in the discovery of new therapeutics. They can mimic or disrupt cellular interactions, enzymatic activities and signaling pathways critical in development and disease. The Yale Chemical Genomics Screening Facility identifies small molecules with a desired biological activity by testing thousands of small molecule compounds individually in high-throughput biological assays.
In "Panning for Gold," Yale scientists will describe their search for small molecules that regulate the activity of RNA riboswitches, facilitate neural repair, stop the cellular aging process and alter zebrafish development. The event will feature opening remarks by Dr. Robert J. Alpern, dean of the School of Medicine and the Ensign Professor of Medicine.
The Dean's Workshops series brings together physicians and scientists from across the School of Medicine, the Yale-New Haven Medical Center and the University to address topics of critical importance in advancing biomedical research and patient care.
