Drug Discovery from Natural Products – Licensing and Partnership Opportunities

Phytochemical analysis in Jabbarzadeh’s lab is closely linked to the development of new therapeutics leads and the elucidation of reaction mechanism. The medicinal plant-based drugs can be developed to multi-targeting approaches in a number of ways including enhancement of immune system, inhibition of telomerase activity and induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. We have developed a number of high-throughput screening assays to determine the potential of novel natural bioactive compounds. This work has led to a portfolio of provisional patents. Please contact Professor Jabbarzadeh for further information.
