Therapeutics

Therapeutics research and development at the U of S aims to treat disease and optimize treatments through the development of drugs, biologics, vaccines, and delivery agents as well as investigations into the biological variations associated with diseases. Areas in which we excel include: human and animal vaccines, biologics (discovery of protective bioactive compounds), nutraceuticals (investigation of plant based product with health benefits), and drug discovery, including pre-clinical drug development (drug formulation, target validation, delivery system design, and gene therapy).

Areas of Expertise

  • Vaccines – human and animal
  • Biologics - Discovery of protective bioactive compounds
  • Nutraceuticals – investigation of plant based product with health benefits
  • Drug Discovery - Pre-clinical drug development (drug formulation, target validation, delivery system design, and gene therapy)
