“We are always open to collaborations and exploring ways to help others in their research,” the associate professor in the Eppley Institute said. “We’re open to pretty much anybody.”

Dr. Natarajan and his team now work with the Eppley Institute’s Hamid Band, M.D., Ph.D., and Tony Hollingsworth, Ph.D., professor and director of pancreatic cancer research.

Dr. Natarajan and his team are actively working on compounds that will help with
Dr. Band’s breast cancer research and show promise in Dr. Hollingsworth’s study of how to better treat pancreatic cancer.

He’s also in conversation with several other campus researchers about making compounds to help advance their research.

Dr. Natarajan is interested in helping any researcher, regardless of field of study, who has
a need for a new compound.

“Our skill set is that we can make small molecules, which later may become the basis of drugs and treatments,” Dr. Natarajan said. “If you need small molecules made, that’s a job for us.”
