Research Summary:
De novo protein design, drug design, protein structure/function, membrane protein structure, integrins, antivirals, antibiotics. Summary: DeGrado's group works on the design of molecules that inform our understanding of biological processes. They also have developed small molecules drugs for various as potential pharmaceuticals, including antithrombotics, heparin reversal agents, antibacterials, and antiviral agents.
