At the Institute of Applied Cancer Science at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center I was accepted to perform research on a special case of breast cancer. Although this research is classified I can however provide with you some useful insight!

A little look at my setup

There was my hood with the smiley balloons and all it's endeavors.

A lot of the instruments I used were state of the art ranging from Autocolumns, to HPLCs-LCMS, and Mass Directive Systems.

My research was primarily focused on modifying an extant drug to improve liver clearance and also potentially increase the binding affinity of the drug. Using both a blend of experimental and computational highthroughput techniques we were able to contrive a pretty powerful therapeutic.

In parallel to the experimental synthesis there is also the the computational aspect, unfortunately I cannot dictate what was the target protein, final molecule, or software used to perform DFT calculations but I can provide a pretty picture!

And the story ends there......
