The Division of Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products focuses on finding new therapeutic agents and targets. Thousands of compounds researched by the School have the potential for therapeutic applications impacting many disease targets, such as enzymes, specific drug receptors, and even genetics. The division has been targeted for sustained growth, and recent developments in facilities, endowment and faculty additions make this an especially opportune time to join the division. The School’s facilities doubled with the dedication of Kerr Hall in October 2002. Currently, the division’s research space is being renovated and expanded, with 10,000 square feet undergoing complete renovation. Beginning in January 2008, the School will occupy an additional 75,000 square feet of state-of-the-art research space in the newly constructed Genetic Medicine Research Building, and the division will have a commitment of substantial space in the new facility. |
