The Texas Institute for Drug and Diagnostics Development is currently bringing on-line an High Throughput Automation Facility. This facility has been established to foster drug discovery and development through the fully automated compound synthesis and screening of commercial chemical libraries as well as in-house compounds. As a part of the Automation facility, the High Throughput Screening Facility (HTSF) is designed to be highly flexible in order to meet the needs of multiple investigators performing a variety of assays. In addition we aim to provide cost-effective and time-efficient access to high throughput screening technology across the UT-Campus as well as off-campus users. The facility staff assists assay development and miniaturization, will train users to use some of the instruments such as a microplate reader and liquid handling robot, and provide consultation for data analysis.

TI-3D currently uses Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) for their Data Analysis needs. CDD's secure web-based database system allows researchers to archive, mine, and collaborate with both other researchers in the lab and internationally. The application's many features include compatibility with Excel, making it easy to store and download data to a public format; and the ability to restrict data or make it public, allowing researchers to both secure their data and share it with others.
