Innovative Molecular Discovery Laboratory

"We discover Molecules"

At iMoD laboratory, our main focus is to discover novel pharmacologically active compounds and understand them in a biological context. The research we do covers a range of medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry and chemical biology areas focused on anti-infective and NCD drug discovery. Our approach involves a broad range of chemical synthesis, natural product studies, basic in silico prediction and biological testing.
