Discovering and designing novel drugs to improve
Health Outcomes
Modernizing Drug Discovery
Leveraging Next-Generation Therapeutics to Overcome Resistance in Targeted Cancer Therapies and Immunotherapies
This research presentation will cover the development of targeted protein degraders, including PROTACs and molecular glues, and covalent inhibitors through chemoproteomics.
Medication Development of an Anti-Fentanyl Vaccine for Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose
Vaccine immunotherapy targeting fentanyl (FEN) may address the rising incidence of opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose deaths, where current treatments fall short.
