    Developing AMP deaminase inhibitors for alcoholism
    Role Description: Collaborative effort to develop small drug inhibitors using a combination of methods, including computer modeling based on a previously published AMPD crystal, stepwise derivation of a published pan AMPD inhibitor (Astra Zeneca), and NMR-based studies to aid the design and synthesis of optimized ligands for inhibitory activity (using saturation-transfer difference NMR).
