“The acquisition of this new instrument will allow us all to push our research projects in directions that were previously impossible here at UK,” said Nishad Thamban Chandrika, a research scientist at the college of pharmacy.
In addition to accelerating the translational objectives of UKCOP’s campus partners such as Markey Cancer Center, the Center for Clinical & Translational Science, and the recently funded COBRE for Pharmaceutical Research and Innovation, the new instrument will also support the research and training of the next generation of scientists.
R. Kip Guy dean of the College of Pharmacy views this award as an essential step in building the chemistry infrastructure needed for UK-based drug discovery and chemical biology research.
"This award allows us to significantly upgrade our NMR capacity and capabilities in order to support innovative science while increasing our ability to collaborate with others across UK's campus," he said.
"I'm extremely proud of our team for all of the work that went into this application that provides for a much-needed addition to the UK PharmNMR Center and our campus research community," said Guy.
