Alison Axtman, Ph.D., is a principal investigator in medicinal chemistry at SGC-UNC and Research Associate Professor in the Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry Department in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Her interests lie at the interface of chemistry and biology, with a focus on using small molecules to explore and impact disease-propagating biological pathways. One active project is aimed at finding pre-clinical small molecule candidates that address the need for new antiviral therapies. She is eager to enable the efforts of other investigators through sharing high-quality small molecule tools to speed the drug discovery process and more quickly help patients in need.
