Researchers receive $1.2 million Keck Foundation grant to find molecules for targeting the 'undruggable proteome'

The W.M. Keck Foundation has awarded a $1.2 million grant to medicinal chemistry and computational biology researchers at the University of Kansas and the University of Chicago focused on addressing a long-unresolved problem in biomedical research - finding molecules able to target the "undruggable proteome."
