In 2016, 64% of U.S. high school students un ...

Project Summary This project proposes further development of a computational discovery platform shown to quantifiably identify and prioritize both targets and compounds for therapeutic intervention, which will accelerate the development of newer, more effective drugs with fewer side-effects. This platform is based on a novel fusion of two state of the art computational approaches (phenolog mapping ...

The overall goal of this program is to develop an oral replacement for injecting insulin. The central premise of this work is that a small molecule called BG-148, or similar molecules, can be taken orally in place of injecting insulin to aid in glycemic control. BG-148 could completely replace insulin injections or could reduce insulin injections by half. To begin clinical testing to evaluate this ...
