The ACDD is an integrated drug discovery center serving to translate Arizona research into potential therapeutics.
Charting a Path to Drug Discovery
There still remains a desperate need for effective therapeutics for many diseases. This occurs at a time when large pharmaceutical companies are decreasing their early-stage R&D efforts, providing a major opportunity for academic drug discovery to flourish. Nonetheless, the path leading to successful drug discovery and development is long and complex. Careful planning, navigation, and collaboration are keys to success.
The Arizona Center for Drug Discovery (ACDD) was established to provide this type of dedicated support and guidance to researchers as they traverse the intricate world of drug discovery and development in an academic setting.
