Background about antibiotics In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the antibiotic, penicillin, and found that it could inhibit bacterial growth. By 1943, researchers were conducting clinical trials for this “wonder drug” and production quickly increased as...
The Pollock lab utilizes chemical biology techniques, biochemical methods, and organic synthesis to understand breast cancer and inflammatory disease development and progression. In particular, we are interested in nuclear receptor function, phosphorylation signaling pathways, design of prodrugs, and the link between cancer and inflammation. We have a lot of collaborators on and off campus so we can expand our scientific discoveries.
