Genomic screening of marine cyanobacteria for the detection of targeted secondary metabolite biosynthetic genes has been achieved through fosmid DNA libraries construction using HMW metagenomic DNA isolated from environmental cyanobacterial samples. Conserved enzymatic steps shared by diverse biosynthetic gene clusters are used as starting point for the design of degenerate primers from the corresponding biosynthetic...

Learn about the latest news and events involving CNPD3 research and faculty. Upcoming Events The College of Pharmacy’s Center for Natural Products, Drug Discovery and Development, or CNPD3, will host the 2019 UF Drug Discovery Symposium, April 25-26, 2019, at the Hotel Indigo in Gainesville. This year’s symposium will feature an exciting lineup of invited...

The symposium featured nearly 130 participants and plenary speakers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Scripps Research Institute-Florida and National Cancer Institute.

A logo brings a brand to life and is the signature mark that helps convey the College of Pharmacy’s connection to the University of Florida, a national leader in higher education. Consistent and constant usage of the UF College of Pharmacy logo strengthens the brand. A list of official UF-approved logos for the College of Pharmacy is provided below....

The researchers found a more efficient way to harvest the UV-absorbing amino acid known as shinorine, which marine organisms like cyanobacteria and macroalgae produce.

Led by principal investigator, Rob Huigens, Ph.D., an assistant professor of medicinal chemistry, the grant aims to establish a drug discovery pipeline to generate and identify new small molecules that possess anticancer activities.

Known as the Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award, the grant will fund several of Huigens’ research projects, including efforts to develop compounds that will eliminate bacterial biofilm-associated infections.

The 10 medicinal chemistry faculty currently serve as principal investigators on 18 different federally funded grants worth more than $18.4 million.

Luesch presented on the expanding chemical space for drug discovery at the conference in Kuwait City.

The third UF Drug Discovery Symposium brought a record-breaking 180 participants, including many of Florida’s major players in the drug discovery field, to Hotel Indigo in Gainesville on April 25–26. The symposium — hosted by the University of Florida College of Pharmacy’s Center for Natural Products, Drug Discovery and Development, or CNPD3 — featured a keynote...
