Collaborative Research
Targeted therapeutics is research that seeks to develop new and more effective classes
of drugs against various diseases by aiming these drugs at molecular and cellular
targets that play a key role in the disease. This topic was chosen because of its
societal impact, the emergence of common technologies driving therapeutics research
in different disease areas and the presence of a critical core of senior faculty with
broad acumen and transdisciplinary vision in targeted therapeutics.
Resource Cores
The Center for Targeted Therapeutics includes three Resource Core Facilities: the Functional Genomics Core, the Drug Design and Synthesis Core, and the Microscopy and Flow Cytometry Core. The director of each core facility can provide expert scientific advice in project
development, along with technological support.
Research Projects
The Center for Targeted Therapeutics currently supports four research projects led
by junior faculty members with expertise in cancer biology and genomics, signal transduction,
metabolic diseases and nanotechnology-based drug delivery. Through pilot projects and collaborative studies, CTT research will encompass targeted therapeutics for
multiple diseases. Explore our current and prior research projects.
