Centre of Excellence ChemBioFarm, established in 2004 at the Faculty of
Chemistry, Gdańsk University of Technology, runs educational and research
in the field of medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical biotechnology
especially focused on molecular aspects of chemoprevention, diagnosis and
chemotherapy of infectious and neoplastic diseases
THE MAIN RESEARCH TOPICS
- Development of new methods of diagnosis of infectious diseases, based
on molecular biology techniques, including construction of
immunological tests employing recombinant antigens;
- Elaboration of the novel strategies for prevention of neoplastic and
infectious diseases, especially in the field of cancer
chemoprevention, as well as design and preparation of antiprotozoan
vaccines;
- Searching for novel molecular targets for antibacterial, antifungal
and anticancer chemotherapy; elucidation of mechanisms of action of
chemotherapeutic agents; investigation of molecular bases of
bacterial pathogenicity, especially uropathogenicity;
- Rational de novo design or modification of existing chemotherapeutic
agents for the control of eukaryotic systems, especially anticancer,
antifungal and antiprotozoan agents;
- Searching for the novel strategies of overcoming multidrug resistance
of pathogenic cells;
- Design and preparation of recombinant proteins with potential
application for therapy and industrial purposes;
- Construction of safe protein-based vaccines incorporating recombinant
antigens exposed in the structure of bacterial Dr-type fimbriae
