The Disney Laboratory is generally interested in developing a chemical code to
enable the rational and modular design of small molecules targeting RNA. We use
this chemical code to target RNAs that are involved in diseases such as cancer,
and a host of inherited diseases, and bacterial and viral infections. We also
have interests in developing microarray technologies as general platforms in
drug discovery through using them to develop cell-specific ligands and
antibiotics that evade resistance.
