From Tests to Treatments: The Process of Drug Development
My research in the Pollock Lab involves testing compounds as inhibitors of a protein in MRSA with the goal of discovering potential antibiotic adjuvants. I find it exciting how the experiments in labs like ours can be built upon to glean more knowledge about...
The Pollock lab utilizes chemical biology techniques, biochemical methods, and organic synthesis to understand breast cancer and inflammatory disease development and progression. In particular, we are interested in nuclear receptor function, phosphorylation signaling pathways, design of prodrugs, and the link between cancer and inflammation. We have a lot of collaborators on and off campus so we can expand our scientific discoveries.
