high content screening (hcs)

Why is HCS Important in Cancer Research?


Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and the ability to spread to other parts of the body. Traditional screening methods often fall short in capturing the complexity of cancer cell behavior. HCS provides a multi-dimensional view of cellular responses, enabling researchers to:
Identify novel drug targets and understand their mechanisms of action.
Study the effects of genetic mutations on cancer cell behavior.
Screen for potential therapeutics that can selectively kill cancer cells while sparing normal cells.
Analyze cell signaling pathways involved in cancer progression and resistance to treatment.
