PROJECTS
Participated in extramurally funded small molecule drug discovery research that focused on various indications
The design and development of novel transthyretin (TTR) tetramer kinetic stabilizers for the potential treatment of dry AMD with senile systemic amyloidosis comorbidity, Collaborator: Dr Konstantin Petrukhin at Columbia University.
The design and development of novel inhibitors of glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2) for the potential treatment of chronic neuropathic pain that does not involve the opioid pathway. Collaborator: Dr. Robert Vandenberg at the University of Sydney.
