Designing Answers, One Compound at a Time
Assistant Professor Jennifer Golden builds chemistry-centered collaborations to design and deploy new drug-like compounds to address pressing biological questions.
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).
New Award Will Support Faster, More Powerful Drug Lead Development
The School’s Professor Weiping Tang is the principal investigator on the project that won funding from the UW2020: WARF Discovery Initiative program.
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
