The screening facility of Marseille-Luminy (PCML) is linked to several topics in antiviral research and drug design.
Our service is highly flexible and allows external users to choose from several research services (collaboration, agreement service,…). PCML offers its expertise and know-how at various levels:
PCML also offers the possibility to screen for compounds likely to inhibit the catalytic activity of a specific enzyme or to screen for other compounds using our enzyme catalog.
PCML is a partner of the multi-site Marseille Screening Center (MaSC) facility (https://www.afmb.univ-mrs.fr/MaSC/ ; https://www.ibisa.net/plateformes/marseille-screening-center-masc-709.html), labelled by IBISA in 2022 and Aix-Marseille technological platform in 2023. This collaborative network was launched in 2005 and consists of PCML, the viral screening facility of Marseille-Timone (PCVMT, resp. Franck Touret) and the High throughput Screening facility from CRCM (HiTS, resp. Xavier Morelli). Such a federation of complementary expertise creates a dynamic interface for project development and optimization.
