Baudry Lab will be awarded funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and from Saint John's Cancer Institute in multi-collaborative projects to discover and perfect pharmaceuticals against the COVID-19 virus.

Congratulations to the newly-minted Dr. Anna Petroff!

Thanks to the Mrs. Pei-Ling Chan Endowment, Dr. Petroff is the first PhD graduate from the UAH Baudry Lab. Dr. Petroff's work concerns the molecular dynamics of membrane proteins related to inflammation and mental health. She plans to continue working with her interdisciplinary collaborators in effort to identify natural product modulators.

Baudry Lab doctoral student Maher Mansur will travel to France under a Chateaubriand Fellowship in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Biology-Health to help research a possible biological early warning system for hazardous chemicals.

From HPE's enterprise.nxt: "Supercomputers are changing the way we work for the better, but the people behind the data are what matters when solving complex problems. Dr. Jerome Baudry discusses his COVID research, lessons learned along the way, and what you might find him doing when he has downtime."

Dr. Baudry and Dr. Byler, of the Baudry Lab, collaborated with Dr. Landman in this work that won The HPC Innovation Excellence Award at SC20.

Dr. Baudry discussed the subject of natural therapeutics on the episode "The Power of Plants to Pulverize Coronavirus."

A discussion on the challenges and the opportunities of the quest for a COVID-19 cure.

University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) professor of biological science Dr. Jerome Baudry is collaborating with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to use HPE’s Cray Sentinel supercomputer to search for natural products that are effective against the COVID-19 virus.

In the fight against COVID-19, Dr. Jerome Baudry, Ms. Pei-Ling Chan Chair and Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), is leveraging computational tools to significantly reduce time to study critical stages of drug design on our path to a cure. And he’s inviting us all along for the ride.

A professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is part of an effort led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee that applies the power of supercomputers to screen compounds for effectiveness against the pandemic COVID-19 virus.

New clinical and biological discoveries made by collaborators open the door to treating a rare and devastating pediatric disease: tyrosinemia. This is a link to the Tyroseinemia Foundation's website and to their Facebook page.
