Drug Discovery & Medicinal Chemistry

With a medicinal chemistry background, the group focuses on drug discovery projects aimed at developing innovative drug strategies to combat cancer. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play key roles in patient relapse after chemotherapy, and selective drugs targeting these cells are still scarce. The group is developing innovative chemical strategies to eliminate CSCs with high selectivity. These include harnessing new drug modalities and crafting unique drug delivery strategies tailored specifically for these cells.
