In classical pharmacology, drugs struck single notes, where one drug would hit one target to treat one disease. But drugs frequently modulate entire target “chords” at once, and this can be essential to their action. The Keiser lab is decoding this molecular music, both in terms of new and useful chords for the treatment of complex diseases, and also to identify the jarring notes that existing drugs unintentionally hit when they induce side effects. Michael is also uncovering the biological roots of Alzheimer’s disease.
