Description

In this episode of Exploration Science, Prof. Adam Duerfeldt and Dr. Henry Shin discuss the science behind their company, Excitant Therapeutics. We learn about their journey into entrepreneurship based on academic research centered around targeting diabetic retinopathy through the activation of PPAR-α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha). Dr. Duerfeldt also dives into some of his work in deciphering molecular penetration of Gram-negative bacteria, overstimulation of bacteria to treat infections, and the interrogation of acyldepsipeptides.
