Method Automates Capture of Cell Image Data
By taking and analyzing half a million snapshots of single cells, Harvard researchers have generated a comprehensive picture of how 100 different drugs and toxins affect intact human cells in culture. This new type of drug profiling, based on automated analysis of microscope images, can reveal important information about the biological mechanism and toxicities of new drugs and will be used to speed drug discovery. The method was developed by Zachary Perlman (front), Timothy Mitchison, and colleagues at HMS and Harvard's Bauer Center.
