Welcome to the Drug Discovery Program
Section: Home
The Drug Discovery Program (DDP) is a research initiative established in July of 2006 to support translational research at the GUMC (Lombardi and the BGRO). The mission of the DDP is to discover new drug treatments and diagnostic tools using integrated sciences to improve the health care of our patients. The DDP will focus on 1) identifying and synthesizing candidate drug compounds for selected molecular targets, 2) validating targets/compounds in cell models and pre-clinical studies, and 3) providing supporting experiments, large scale synthesis and consultation to advance each of the candidate molecules towards the clinic.
