Small Synthesis Methods Lead to Big Outcomes
Have you ever taken a common medicine, such as Tylenol, and wonder where it comes from? Or have you ever encountered a nylon-fabric material such as a T-shirt or an umbrella, and think of how it’s made? The answer lies in chemical synthesis. In fact, we...
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.
