Overview

We are an academic research laboratory in field of chemical biology in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee.

Our research is focused on two primary targets: 1) the vitamin D receptor and 2) the GABA (A) receptors.

Our approach is to develop small molecules as can function as molecular probes in complex biological systems and new drug candidates for diseases mediated by the two primary targets mentioned above.

We are combining many areas of science including medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, (bio)analytical chemistry, high throughput screening, assay development, virtual screening, molecular docking and pharmacological profiling.
