The Chang Lab

Dr. Chang’s research interests have concentrated on developing novel chemical probes to solve problems in various fields - Chemical Biology, Chemical Proteomics, Metabolomics, Medicinal Chemistry, and Molecular Imaging, as well as challenges in modern biology such as Cancer Therapy. The novel chemical probes would be useful for the development of potent and specific drugs targeting poorly characterized proteins from the earliest stages of target validation through medicinal chemistry optimization and even though pharmacodynamic studies during clinical trials. Our laboratory is mainly focused on developing of novel chemical probes for profiling poorly characterized protein activities and drugs for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of diseases like cancer and diabetes.
