NIH Chemical Genomics Center

The NIH Chemical Genomics Center is a part of the National Institutes of Health that focuses on discovering new medicines by studying how small chemical compounds interact with biological systems. It uses advanced technology to screen large libraries of chemicals to find those that can affect disease-related targets in the body. This research helps identify potential drug candidates and understand their mechanisms, ultimately aiding in the development of treatments for various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases. The center collaborates with other researchers to translate these findings into real-world therapies.
