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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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...

A record 89 poster entries and a keynote address about how technology is transforming clinical drug development highlighted the annual event.
