Welcome to SGC

The SGC embarks on a new project as part of the EUbOPEN Consortium

The consortium consists of 22 partners that will work together to develop high quality chemical tools

Rapidly Emerging Antiviral Drug Development Initiative (READDI)

Open science drug discovery partnership, READDI, aims to invest $125 million to prevent future pandemics

New Open-AD Drug Discovery Center

SGC and collaborators to create open research tools for Alzheimer’s disease research funded by National Institute on Aging

Discovery of a chemical probe for PRDM9

A collaboration between MSD and the SGC has resulted in the discovery of MRK-740, a potent inhibitor of PRDM9

MTase Chemical Probe Toolbox

A collection of well-characterized chemical probes and related reagents for the study of methylation-mediated signaling.
