Poster Abstract #5: NIH Roadmap Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network

Conclusions The MLSCN, along with PubChem and the MLSMR, offers a new dimension in research opportunities for pharmacologists, chemists and biologists in the academic and nonprofit sector. The sharing of small molecules, biological assays, and screening data with the larger scientific community represents a new public sector paradigm that promises to facilitate the understanding of basic biological mechanisms and shorten the timeline for drug development, with resulting benefits to public health, especially for rare and neglected disorders.
