Center/Program Highlights:

The Fisher Drug Discovery Resource Center (DDRC) guides researchers in drug discovery by improving the efficiency of their bioassays, identifying compounds and targets of function, and in utilizing technologies for the measurement of drug/receptor interactions. The center has a collection of 420,000 compounds, automated liquid transfer devices, compound databases, and supports a broad diversity of assay development techniques, typically found in early drug discovery programs. The Center also has spectroscopic and calorimetric equipment for use in studies of the interactions of drugs with their targets. (RRID:SCR_020985)
