Development of a Pediatric Tuberculosis Diagnostic Test
A lipoprotein diagnostic marker for TB disease ideal for a simple diagnostic assay from a finger prick blood or serum Background: The inadequate sensitivity of available organism-based TB diagnostic tools in children, the wide spectrum of disease observed in children, and the non-specific signs and symptoms especially in young and HIV-children,...

Alkene Isomerization as an Entry to Efficient Alternating Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization (iAROMP)
A technique that enables the preparation of long length and low dispersion polymers with an alternating functional group arrangement Background: Most sequence-controlled polymers lack rigorous fidelity or are homopolymers with simple chain microstructures or copolymers, in which the monomer sequence is not precisely controlled. Polymers of imprecise...

Novel Drugs for the Treatment of Tuberculosis
Compounds that increase TB therapy efficacy through a mechanism of action for increased tolerance and decreased therapy duration. Background: One third of the world's population is infected with tuberculosis (TB). In 2014, there were 1.5 million TB related deaths. The current recommended treatment regimen for TB begins with a two-month intensive therapy...

Novel Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 for Anti-Cancer Drug Development
Inhibitors that target a site on MMP-9's hemopexin domain that are distinct and cannot be functionally substituted for one another. Background: Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), a type IV collagenase, is linked to cancer progression and metastasis. Despite increased evidence of correlation between MMP-9 and tumor metastasis, no success has been...
