Since the discovery of penicillin, you know that drug that was accidentally discovered by eating in the lab, the majority of illnesses caused by bacterial infections have been able to be treated by compounds. These compounds are called antibiotics. There...
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.
