Welcome to the HTEP Screening Center within the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology in the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Boston University School of Medicine!

We are a academic screening center providing state-of-the-art, high-throughput, electrophysiology screening to public research institutions and pharmaceutical companies, using our patented high-throughput electrophysiology (HTEP) workstations. Our HTEP technology has been successfully used to screen moderate sized chemical compound libraries. Such compounds have been optimized and are currently in pre-clinical development in a major pharmaceutical company. In addition, Our HTEP technology has been licensed on a non-exclusive basis to a top ten pharmaceutical company.

We have a wide range of ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels, and develop custom-tailored assays to screen small chemical entities for the purposes of drug discovery and design.

We engage in two kinds of research agreements.

  1. Fee for service agreement: the data and associated intellectual property are the exclusive property of the funding company or institution.
  2. Sponsored Research Agreement: we invite opportunities for funded collaborations that will result in the publication of research findings.
