Who We Are
Biological Discovery through Chemical Innovation (BDCI) is a robust and synergistic network of Emory researchers working at the key intersection of chemistry, biology, and human health. This collaborative and cross-disciplinary network provides a rich environment in which we can both accelerate the development of the next generation of research tools, safe and effective drugs, and diagnostic agents, as well as train the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers.
