Abstract: Cell-based tools and assays have been used more and more for basic research and drug discovery. In particular, bioluminescent assays are simple to utilize, offer much greater sensitivity, extended linearity, and reduced interference from compound collections. This seminar will highlight advances in cell-based assays in drug discovery with a focus on anti-microbials.
