PT-OPENSCREEN is included in the Portuguese Roadmap of Research Infrastructures 2020

We congratulate PT-OPENSCREEN for being included in the 2020 Portuguese Roadmap of Research Infrastructures. PT-OPENSCREEN unites the major Portuguese research centres in the areas of chemistry and biology spread throughout the country and coordinates the participation of Portugal in EU-OPENSCREEN.

The main objective of the network is to create a national infrastructure of high capacity screening platforms (high-throughput screening) for the identification of new molecules with biological/therapeutic potential, to centralise the Portuguese collection of chemical compounds currently spread across the various research centres in Portugal and to pave the way to full membership in EU-OPENSCREEN.

PT-OPENSCREEN is coordinated by  the Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde (i3S) in Porto, contact: Antonio Pombinho

The following institutes participate in PT-OPENSCREEN:

Centro de Biologia Molecular e Ambiental (CBMA); Centro de Biotecnologia
dos Açores (CBA); Centro de Engenharia Biológica da Universidade do
Minho (CEB-UM); Centro de Estudos de Doenças Crónicas (CEDOC); Centro
de Investigação de Engenharia Química e Biotecnologia (CIEQB); Centro
de Investigação em Química da Universidade do Porto (CIQUP); Centro
de Neurociências e Biologia Celular (CNC); Centro de Química da Madeira
(CQM); Centro de Química da Universidade do Minho (CQUM); Centro de
Química de Coimbra (CQC); Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE); Centro
de Toxicogenómica e Saúde Humana (ToxOmics); Centro Interdisciplinar
de Investigação Marinha e Ambiental (CIIMAR); Instituto de Biomedicina -
Aveiro (iBiMED); Instituto de Biosistemas & Ciências Inte grativas (BioISI);
Instituto de Ciências da Vida e da Saúde (ICVS); Instituto de Higiene e
Medicina Tropical (IHMT); Instituto de Investigação do Medicamento (iMed.
ULisboa); Instituto de Medicina Molecular (iMM).
