Dr. McHardy’s lab and the CIDD are focused on medicinal chemistry research in the design, synthesis and development of small molecule compounds across multiple therapeutic disease areas. Currently funded programs are focused on the development of novel small molecules for breast, ovarian and brain cancers, metabolic diseases, Schistosomiasis, biofilm inhibition and dengue virus. The lab also focuses on the development of new synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of drug-like compounds and natural products.
