The Ben-Yakar research group has developed a large-scale microfluidic chip for high-throughput screening of C. elegans disease models, published in Nature Communications (Mondal et al. 2016; DOI 10.1038/ncomms13023). The platform enables high-resolution phenotyping of ~4,000 C. elegans from 96 different populations in approximately 15 minutes. 

 

Using this platform, approximately 1,000 FDA-approved drugs were screened using a polyglutamine-induced aggregation model of C. elegans to identify four confirmed hits.
