Drug Discovery
New Avenues to Fight Serious Illness
91猎奇 researchers focus on new treatments for infectious diseases and bacterial infections, and ways to make existing therapies more effective. Studies also strive to better understand the underlying bases of human diseases, exploring the mechanisms that underlie breast cancer, chronic pain, Alzheimer鈥檚 and other dementias, schizophrenia, fetal alcohol syndrome, heart disease, and viral evolution. Below is a rotating selection of our standout investigators in these areas.
