Disclosed are methods of identifying compounds that suppress the growth of target cells. In certain embodiments, the methods comprise providing a panel of target cells and the panel of target cells comprises a plurality of populations of target cells. Each population comprises cells that are resistant to one or more compounds known to suppress the growth of cells sensitive to the one or more compounds. Each population of target cells grows in the presence of a candidate compound and a determination of whether the candidate compound suppresses the growth of one or more populations of target cells.
