About Theodore Kamenecka
Research Profile
Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery
The research interest in my group is in the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel compounds of biological and therapeutic interest. Currently, we are involved in the design and synthesis of novel small molecule modulators of nuclear receptors, GPCR’s, ion channels, kinases and mitochondria for the therapeutic treatment of addiction, diabetes and obesity, multiple sclerosis, cognitive health and aging. Working closely with other departments such as molecular biology, pharmacology, and drug metabolism, we optimize lead compounds for potency, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), safety pharmacology, and toxicology in order to generate compounds suitable for preclinical development.
