CBCS - about us
The Core Facility at Karolinska Institutet is one of six CBCS nodes and a national infrastructure established in 2010 and located in Alfa-5 at SciLifeLab, Campus Solna. CBCS KI provides expertise and instrumentation for assay development and screening (BSL-2 and BSL-3) and enabling chemistry support, including medicinal synthetic and computational chemistry. The facility also accommodates the Compound Center hosting a collection of more than 350 000 small molecules.
The scientists at CBCS have diverse backgrounds from both academia and the pharmaceutical industry and solid experience in assay development, screening and development of bioactive molecules.
