Helping Faculty Researchers and External Collaborators Transform Basic Research into New Drug Therapies
Improved understanding and treatment of disease, prevention, diagnosis and control therapies relies on the identification of the biological pathways that lead to disease development. Transforming these basic research findings into new drug therapies —by targeting and selecting the most promising leads- is the goal of the drug discovery research at the University of Kansas.
The process of drug discovery is complex and involves multiple disciplines. Biomedical investigators working with the core research labs have access to state-of-art equipment and experienced lab personnel to expedite their drug discovery efforts.
