Chancellor's Associates Colloquium: |
Wednesday, |
The Ida and Cecil Green Faculty Club, |
A presentation by Christine Hrycyna, Dean of the School of Physical Sciences and the Chancellor’s Associates Chair in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Treating brain diseases is often a challenge, as many drugs are not able to enter the brain. This is caused in part by a molecular pump present at the barrier to the brain, which removes drugs before brain entry. We have developed a novel approach to solve this problem by making molecules based on the therapeutic drugs themselves that block the pump temporarily and allow drugs to pass into the brain. This new approach has the potential to improve the treatment of numerous brain diseases and disorders. |
