Core A: Administration

The mission of the University of Kansas Center of Excellence in Chemical Methodologies & Library Development (KU CMLD) is to design and synthesize libraries that (1) utilize new principles of scaffold design (and especially the incorporation of multiple scaffold cores into a single library), (2) are likely to have pharmacological activity based on sound drug design principles, and (3) are likely to have drug-like characteristics. The work at the KU CMLD involves 15 researchers located at the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri–Kansas City, Iowa State University, the University of Minnesota and Deciphera Pharmaceuticals.

The Director of Core A (and of the KU CMLD Center) is Jeffrey Aubé, who has been a professor at the University of Kansas since 1986, where he maintains an active research program in organic/medicinal chemistry.
