Description: Join us for the February Research and Innovation Forum
Dr. Pavel Anzenbacher Jr., professor of chemistry, will share information about a photochemical method for testing the efficacy of drugs against solid tumors. Solid tumors require an acidic environment to proliferate and this acidity is maintained by a specific enzyme called carbonic anhydrase IX. Potential drugs to inhibit this enzyme in tumors could lead to cures for many cancers.
