OpenSPR-XT surface plasmon resonance instrument for teaching and research
A new benchtop OpenSPR-XT instrument will let students and researchers at UMSL measure how strongly molecules bind to each other in real time, enhancing both teaching labs and basic biomedical projects.
-
Using computer methods to design drugs that target proteins involved in cancer.
This study is looking at new ways to create drugs that can better target proteins involved in lung cancer, especially for patients with certain mutations, by using computer simulations to see how these drugs work, which could lead to more effective treatments for you.

Understanding how amyloid-beta interacts with inflammasome proteins
This study is looking at how certain proteins related to inflammation interact with amyloid-beta, which is important for understanding diseases like Alzheimer's, and it also helps students learn new scientific skills along the way.
-
Exploring how body clocks and fat metabolism are connected
This study is looking at how our body's natural daily rhythms affect how we process fats, and it’s for anyone interested in understanding how disruptions in these rhythms might lead to health issues related to metabolism.
-
Understanding stigma around medication for opioid use disorder
This study is looking at the negative feelings some people have about medications like methadone and buprenorphine that help treat opioid addiction, and it wants to understand how these feelings affect both healthcare providers and the public, so we can find better ways to support people seeking treatment.
-
Understanding how certain proteins trigger inflammation in Alzheimer's disease
This study is looking at how certain molecules linked to Alzheimer's disease trigger a part of the immune system called the NLRP3 inflammasome, with the hope of finding new ways to treat Alzheimer's and similar inflammatory conditions.
