Curriculum Vitae

 

Welcome to the

Kassiou Research Group Website

 

Our research covers an exciting and diverse range of fields including drug design and development, medicinal chemistry, neuropharmacology and molecular imaging.

 

The group is primarily concerned with the understanding of drug-protein and drug-binding site interactions in order to obtain structure-activity relationships of bioactive CNS molecules. This allows the rationale design of more efficacious treatments for diseases of the brain. In addition by using molecular imaging techniques within these fields we are able to better understand the living brain through in vivo studies. Our group is proud to be at the forefront of this new science, which is fast becoming the preferred method for the study of the brain regions and neural pathways affected in substance abuse, neurodegenerative and psychotic disorders.
