The aim of WP4 is to define and standardise in vitro systems and their use in functional genomics studies of Chinese herbal medicines (CHM), including to:
- Develop a general strategy
- Establish criteria for selection of cell-based models for functional genomics research of CMH
- Employ these criteria to evaluate the quality of existing data and establish guidelines
- Obtain a comprehensive database of cell-based CHM studies
- Establish guidelines for using in silico tools
- Identify and define the scope, content and quality control procedures required in establishing and maintaining a comprehensive database of the information provided through in vitro studies.
