Interrogating the Druggable Proteome with Proximity Pharmacology Research in the Ferguson laboratory applies chemical synthesis, biochemistry, mass spectrometry and cell biology towards the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Our research seeks to enable dissection of the cellular signaling networks underlying disease through development of selective tool compounds that act via inhibition, targeted degradation, proximity mediated-pharmacology, or alterations of posttranslational modifications. We cultivate a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative approach to science to tackle fundamental questions in disease biology and drug discovery.
