High-content, high-throughput screening for the identification of cytotoxic compounds based on cell morphology and cell proliferation markers.

Toxicity is a major cause of failure in drug discovery and development, and whilst robust toxicological testing occurs, efficiency could be improved if compounds with cytotoxic characteristics were identified during primary compound screening. The use of high-content imaging in primary screening is...
