Research Description
Peptide and protein scaffolds for biotherapeutic discovery and development Research in the Bradley laboratory utilizes approaches at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and neurobiology to discover and develop peptide and protein-based molecules as platforms for various medical, biotechnical, and biotherapeutic applications. We are using molecular design and screening techniques to develop molecules with desired biological activities and properties. In addition, biochemical and neurobiological characterization will contribute towards understanding the basis of the native molecule's function.
