Please join us this Friday for an enlightening seminar in our CHEM 280/180H series. We are honored to host Dr. Mary Kay Pflum, Professor and A Paul and Carol C. Schaap, Endowed Chair and Director of the Chemistry Biology Interface T32 Training Program at Wayne State University.

Brief Intro

In her presentation, Dr. Pflum will discuss her pioneering research on histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, focusing on the development of small molecule inhibitors with potential as anti-cancer drugs. The seminar will cover organic synthesis, biochemistry, cell-based assays, and computational docking.

This session offers a unique opportunity to delve into the forefront of cancer therapeutic development, particularly in synthesizing and evaluating selective HDAC inhibitors.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of a vital area in cancer research. We look forward to seeing you there.
