Making strides in malaria, tuberculosis, and cancer research.
Drug Resistant Cancer
Half a million people die each year in the United States alone due to drug resistant cancers. Our ground-breaking research aims at discovering effective means to treat resistant ovarian cancer and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Facilities and Technology
X-ray Crysrallography is used in order to identify the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. This technique is fundamental in the development of many scientific fields and is the primary method for characterizing the atomic structure of new materials, and in discerning materials that appear similar. X-ray crystallography is now used regularly by scientists to ascertain how a pharmaceutical drug interacts with its protein target and what alterations might improve it.

Tuberculosis
Someone in the world is newly infected with TB bacilli every second. Two million people die every year. Most of these deaths are preventable.
About 5% of new TB cases are resistant to multiple antibiotics. Learn more about our research and how we're changing lives for the better.
