Screening | German Center for Infection Research

Short description

Screening is a systematic testing method with the aim of identifying elements with certain properties.

Detailed description

Screening of humans is mostly done to early detect diseases. So-called natural compound libraries can be screened, too, in order to find a natural product with desired properties, which can, for example, be further developed into a drug.
