R35 Grant Accelerates New Molecule Discovery
With funding from the National Institutes of Health, Assistant Professor Jason Kwan explores new methods to discover drug candidates.
UW–Madison School of Pharmacy’s Jennifer Golden Designs Promising New Compounds To Fight Deadly Mosquito-Transmitted Viruses
The School of Pharmacy makes a breakthrough in creating new small molecules that penetrate into the brain where the equine encephalitis viruses reside and interfere with viral replication to stop EEV. The research is funded by a new, five-year $21 million award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Driven by Discovery
The need for new antibiotics fuels Professor Tim Bugni’s highly collaborative efforts to find novel molecules in marine bacteria.
School of Pharmacy Promotes Four Faculty Members
Professor Beth Martin, Professor Tim Bugni, Professor Sandro Mecozzi, and Associate Professor Joe Zorek have been promoted for their contributions to research and education.
Medicinal Chemistry Center Moves Drug Discovery Forward With Unparalleled Expertise
The early phase of drug discovery is seemingly straight-forward: screen molecules for biological activity, validate screening hits, design and synthesize novel drug molecules for testing in cells and animals. But while drug companies breeze through that process
