Title of Collaborative Activity: |
Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) |
Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program is developing a library of data at the cellular level that describes how different types of cells respond to a variety of agents that disrupt normal cellular functions, called “perturbagens.” This library may help us better understand normal and diseased conditions in cells and how to alter them. The LINCS program engages with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding how LINCS data may be used to predict drug toxicity. |
