The Center for Pharmaceutical Research and Innovation (CPRI) facilitates basic and clinical research in drug discovery and development. The CPRI assists UK-based researchers to identify novel chemical probes and drug leads to address unmet medical needs in various disease areas and assisting in advancing projects to in vivo preclinical proof of principle. Through our Chem and Bio Cores and our Natural Products Library we provide unique services and build innovative research collaborations with investigators across the university.
Our scientists are the intellectual engine of CPRI and innovators in team-driven probe/lead discovery, development, and commercialization.
The CPRI provides core services, state-of-the-art facilities, and unique expertise to facilitate translational research.
CPRI works with many talented UK investigators and the network of world-class UK Centers focused on major health disparities in the Commonwealth.
