The Functional Genomics Core (FGC)<https://arizona.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ae4f674d2cdd802dccf43b898&id=0f8bbfcca5&e=7a4697daa5> is now integrated with the Arizona Center for Drug Discovery,<https://arizona.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ae4f674d2cdd802dccf43b898&id=783751bf97&e=7a4697daa5> providing resources for investigators conducting research in molecular biology to run live cell, biochemical and other assays. The FGC specializes in conducting high-throughput drug/compound screens, RNAi screens, yeast/microbial deletion library screens, and the automation of repetitive molecular biological protocols for the purpose of network analysis, drug and target discovery. Laboratory equipment is also available for general (low-throughput) use.

Housed in the UA College of Pharmacy, the Arizona Center for Drug Discovery creates the necessary infrastructure to bridge UA researchers with pharmaceutical partners to establish a collaborative environment to advance novel disease intervention findings beyond the laboratory setting. The Center works with faculty members and established scientists at the UA to assemble teams around shared research projects in drug discovery and development. Faculty members also have access to mentorship and guidance regarding how to get started in drug discovery.
