Center For Drug Design, University of Minnesota

Center For Drug Design, University of Minnesota The Center for Drug Design (CDD) is a distinctive research facility in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota.

We are dedicated to using cutting edge technology to develop highly effective therapeutic agents. The Center for Drug Design was conceived by Prof. Robert Vince, PhD, medicinal chemist and researcher at the University of Minnesota. He is the holder of more than 20 patents in the anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-microbial fields, and is now the director of the Center. One of his most significant c

ontributions was the design of carbovir, a potent anti-HIV/AIDS drug. This led to the establishment of the Center for Drug Design on January 8, 2002. At that time, Senior Vice President, Frank Cerra, MD, and the Council of Deans of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota voted on and approved its creation. The guiding principle behind the Center's creation is to unite efficient, high-level research with the design and development of highly effective drugs. The Center for Drug Design is supported by royalty income through a drug company licensing agreement. All funds are used to support faculty and administrative staff, postdoctoral and student training, laboratory and equipment costs.
