What will it take to cure cancer? 🔬 At UC San Diego, Professor of Chemistry Michael Burkart conducts research in drug discovery, with an emphasis on anticancer and antibiotic natural products. Through medicinal chemistry and synthetic biology, his lab discovers and develops new drug therapies, including next generation cancer therapeutics that can selectively target cancer cells. 👨‍🔬 This lifesaving research is supported by funding by the federal government. #BehindEveryBreakthrough #SaveResearch #ResearchSavesLives #UCSD #UCSanDiego #CancerResearch
