MAINZ SCREENING CENTER
Services and Products for Life Sciences and Nanotechnology
Our company, the Mainz Scientific Screening Center UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG, was founded in 2014 in Mainz, Germany.
The company is headed by the biologist Prof. Dr. phil. nat. Shirley Knauer, born in 1976, Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Biology, habilitation in Molecular Medicine, Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Duisburg-Essen (department head since 2010).
Our main partner and customer is the University Mainz Medical Center, for which we i.a. organize the annual ChemBioMed symposia.
Equipped with the long-standing expertise of developing and adapting cell-based assay systems for medium- to high-throughput screening applications, we are able to provide you with a wide variety of established test systems and biological read-outs.
Moreover, we design novel tailor-made assays to be adapted on our screening platform according to the customers' request within a reasonable time frame.
