G-quadruplex DNA as a Drug Target
This is a past event.
Friday, February 1, 2019 at 11:00am to 12:00pm
PG5 134
Join us for a talk with Dr. Jonathan Chaires, Professor, University of Louisville, on “G-quadruplex DNA as a Drug Target.” G-quadruplexes are unique four-stranded DNA (or RNA) structures that are highly conserved and non-randomly distributed within the human genome. These structures have functional roles in the control of gene expression and telomere biology. Because of this, they have become attractive targets for new types of drugs. This presentation will discuss G-quadruplexes as drug targets and will describe the development of a drug discovery platform in Dr. Chaires’ laboratory.
