Advances in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology, facilitated by developments in genomics and proteomics, are producing a large number of novel biological targets that may be exploited for therapeutic intervention.
To facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic agents, rational drug design methods in combination with structural biology offer great potential. The major goal of the CADD Center is to initiate these collaborations, leading to the establishment of research projects to discover novel chemical entities with the potential to be developed into novel therapeutic agents.
This three-minute video provides a detailed overview of the CADD Center at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, including information about the types of research currently underway in the center and how the center's work is advancing the field of drug discovery.
The CADD Center provides collaborative opportunities for biologists to apply CADD approaches to their research programs.
