Researchers: Dr Chongyun Cheng (Principal investigator)

Brief description In the proposed research, three novo approaches for drug discovery will be explored: 1) The important neurodegenerative disease relevant protein JNK3 crystals will be used as the probe to fish out the potential inhibitors from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); 2) Instead of individual drug components, the mixture of TCM will be used directly; 3) The composition of a TCM library are not randomly chosen but have been used in China for hundreds to thousands of years in curing neurodegenerative disease.
