Working Group
WG4 — High-throughput screening and microfluidic platforms
WG4 supports high-throughput phenotyping, drug discovery, microfluidics and scalable experimental workflows.
Remit
Microfluidics and automated screening can accelerate discovery in fundamental biology, disease models and agricultural applications. WG4 brings together engineers, screening experts, industry partners and nematode biologists to standardise and extend these platforms.
