Personal profile
University profile
Medicinal chemistry research in Dr. David Rotella's lab is a collaborative exercise where we engage other scientists with complimentary interests. Currently, they are engaged in discovery of protein kinase inhibitors for anti infective and anti inflammatory applications, in the discovery of new agents useful for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and enzyme inhibitors that can be used to treat botulism poisoning. Dr. Rotella is working with others at MSU as well as scientists in other universities and research institutes.
