Event Details
May Khanna, Associate Professor of Molecular Pathobiology, NYU College of Dentistry, will give a talk titled: "Chemical biology, structure-based approach to targeting protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions for AD/ADRD therapeutics."
ABSTRACT
Dr. Khanna’s research focuses on drug development in neurodegenerative diseases. Her laboratory is targeting through rational, structure-based design protein-RNA and protein-protein interactions using small molecules, aptamers, and oligonucleotide therapeutics. She will highlight work done on several diseases and how they intersect with chemical biology.
