Secondary screening

Focused screening

Fluofarma has developed a panel of assays for focused secondary screening in cell-based models of human diseases or in primary cell cultures. Our cell-based models enable reliable, targeted screening for a specific pathology.

Example of secondary screening in neurobiology

Fluofarma developed cellular models that mimic neurodegenerative disease. Those models are based on primary cultures of neurons grown in presence of neurodegeneration inducers.

As shown by the Figure below, focused screenings using those models allow the identification of drugs able to delay the neurodegeneration process (green).

 

Example of secondary screening in oncology

Fluofarma has a large panel of cancer cell lines which are representative of the major tumor types, as well as engineered cell lines overexpressing specific targets for more focused screening.

These cell-based tools enable allow the identification of drugs which act on a specific cancer type or a specific target.
