About

Chemical Synthesis and Drug Discovery Facility

Overview of Services

The facility supports translational biomedical research by providing expertise that enables the preparation of small molecules for use in hit verification, lead development, and midsize scale-up. In addition, the core supports the preparation of biological probes (affinity, fluorescently tagged, etc.), active pharmaceutical agents as experimental controls, small chemical libraries for structure-activity relationships and the optimization pharmacoogical properties. This shared user research core is also charged with organizational oversight of the products of past, current, and future chemical synthesis to create a university compound collection with currently 20,000 unique chemical entities.
