New Mathematical Model May Improve Drug Discovery – Study Co-Authored by CFB’s Dr. Eleanor Allen

A new mathematical model that uses drug-target kinetics to predict how drugs work in vivo may provide a foundation to improve drug discovery, which is frequently hampered by the inability to predict effective doses of drugs. The discovery by Peter Tonge, a Professor of Chemistry and Radiology, and Director of Infectious Disease Research at the Institute for Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery (ICB & DD) at Stony Brook University, is co-authored by the Center for Biotechnology’s Dr. Eleanor Allen, along with collaborators at Stony Brook University and AstraZeneca. Read the full study published advanced online in Nature Chemical Biology. Read more about the team from the Stony Brook Newsroom.

Medical product developers, research teams, and companies offering disruptive solutions to health security threats are invited to submit abstracts beginning today using this simplified EZ BAA process. Applications accepted through this streamlined process must offer transformative innovation, products and technologies to protect Americans from health security threats. This application process is a business friendly simple abstract. In-scope priority areas include products and solutions to reduce illness and death from sepsis as part of DRIVe’s Solving Sepsis initiative; technologies and processes to identify infections and exposures to biological and other health threats, as outlined in the Early Notification to Act, Control, and Treat (ENACT) initiative; and tools and techniques to mitigate the damages and loss of life associated with catastrophic events. Applying is simple:
  • Download the application form the DRIVe website.
  • Submit a technical abstract no longer than a 2,000 words
  • Include a cost proposal of an additional 2,000 words or less.
  • Proposed costs should not exceed $749,000.
What happens next:
  • Once submitted, DRIVe’s experts will review the application to ensure it is within scope and meets DRIVe criteria.
  • As the applicant, you’ll be notified of the review results within 30 days of your submission.
**The Center for Biotechnology is interested in working with potential applicants to help ensure the submission of a robust on-target proposal. If you are interested learning about how the Center for Biotechnology can help, please contact William Hanes: william.hanes@stonybrook.edu*** Learn more about the DRIVe EZ-BAA review criteria here.
