High content screening (HCS) is based on subcellular imaging using automated microscopy, in combination with automated image analysis. High content screening was first introduced over a decade ago as one of the promising new technologies, intended to address the bottleneck of secondary assays in the development of new drugs. Since then, the application has rapidly expanded throughout the entire drug discovery process, from target identification and validation, through to lead optimisation and detailed investigation of the mode of action.
