Drug Discovery: Keeping the pipeline flowing
Our researchers are working to get the pipeline for truly new medications flowing again. Where pharmaceutical companies are less able to invest in research that could lead to breakthrough treatment, universities can help. Watch this video (3:56), with an introduction from Jeffrey R. Balser, M.D., Ph.D., vice chancellor for Health Affairs and dean of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, to learn about how Vanderbilt scientists are doing groundbreaking research to identify new drug targets and find compounds to act on them in a safe, effective way.
