The UNM Center for Molecular Discovery (CMD) provides industry standard molecular screening services that enable investigators to perform chemical biology discovery research in their areas of basic and translational research interests.
The center is led by Interim Director Tione Buranda, PhD and operates as a collaborative resource with a mission to support discovery by designing, optimizing, running large scale screens, and confirming obtained actives.
The University of New Mexico Center for Molecular Discovery (UNMCMD), located in Albuquerque, NM, is an academic research center focused on using high throughput flow cytometry to identify small molecules that can be used as chemical probes and as leads for drug discovery. We have developed innovative flow cytometric tools for discovery research that enable homogeneous analysis of ligand binding and protein-protein interaction, high throughput sample handling, high content analysis, and real-time measurements of cell response.
The UNMCMD has a broad range of HTS experience with cell and molecular targets. Areas of expertise include:
