Drug Discovery/Delivery

Capitalizing upon the historic strengths at Purdue University in pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, structural biology, and basic medical sciences, the Bindley Bioscience Center coalesces expertise and capabilities in systems engineering and nanotechnology to identify and develop new drug entities and more successful systems for delivery of drugs. An integrated approach combines the capacity of the Core Technologies with biological systems-based assays to enable new platforms for high throughput screening of candidate chemicals and biologics of potential use in research as well as for treatments or preventative agents. These capabilities will also be applied to the development of novel drug delivery approaches, especially those utilizing nanotechnology.
