WANG LABORATORY
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Welcome to the Wang Lab
Chemical biology | Drug discovery | Medicinal Chemistry
Current and past research funding sources
The Wang lab is focused on designing new drug-like molecules for the treatment of diseases and novel methods or platforms for drug discovery and mechanistic studies in biology. We have two major research directions:
-
New molecules and mechanisms that control RNA splicing
-
Chimeric molecules that recruit new functions on RNAs
