Transforming Life. Chemistry of Life Processes Institute at Northwestern University is where new cures and biomedical discoveries begin. From landmark Alzheimer’s studies to revolutionary new treatments for cancer, Parkinson’s, cardiovascular disease and addiction, CLP Institute offers new hope to millions of people around the world living with disease. “The remarkable thing about CLP is the number of inventions that have come out of this small institute. It’s an incubator that really has no parallel.” Teresa K. Woodruff, Thomas J. Watkins Memorial Professor of Obstetrics; Dean, The Graduate School The Beginners’ Guide to Academic Drug Development at Northwestern A new resource for Northwestern academic drug developers who wish to explore commercialization of promising drug therapies developed in the lab.

Northwestern’s Chemistry of Life Processes Institute Hatches IPO of the Decade What happens when a highly interdisciplinary and integrated team of scientists, business leaders and students work together across fields of fundamental science, discovery, development, and finance? In the case of Monopar Therapeutics, a Chemistry of Life Processes... Chromatin organizes itself into 3D ‘forests’ in single cells A single cell contains the genetic instructions for an entire organism. This genomic information is managed and processed by the complex machinery of chromatin -- a mix of DNA and protein within chromosomes whose function and role in disease are of increasing interest... Budding Scientist Flourishes at Northwestern Growing up in Michigan, Isabella (Bella) Borgula, a senior at Northwestern, developed a passion for chemistry earlier than most kids. “One thing that I distinctly remember is that my dad would buy me GIANT Microbes®, these little stuffed animals of viruses and...

These facilities represent a $25 million investment in high‐end instrumentation and expertise and provide 50 new services that enable investigators to identify, design and refine potential new therapeutics and diagnostics and to visualize their activity in living cells and tissues. The cores’ PhD level personnel develop powerful new tools and methods to support new basic and translational research at Northwestern and across the Midwest. Center for Advanced Molecular Imaging Imaging resources span length scales of molecules to whole animals. Instruments include MRI, IVIS Spectrum, SPECT, and PET. ChemCore Medicinal and synthetic chemistry, molecular modeling and compound purification services. Biological Imaging Facility Photonic and electron instruments, allowing researchers to capture high-quality images and videos of their specimens. Developmental Therapeutics Core Operational laboratory that supports translational projects and exploratory drug development work. High Throughput Analysis Laboratory Instrumentation and expertise for the development and execution of high throughput biological analysis and screening. Proteomics Core Instrumentation and expertise to analyze proteins using mass spectrometry. Specializing in intact protein analysis. Quantitative Bio-element Imaging Center Quantitation and localization of bioelements using ICP mass spec, customized Hitachi HD2300 STEM for cryo-bio EM, and atomic absorption mass spectometry. Recombinant Protein Production Core Expression and purification of recombinant or synthetic biologics and cultivation of microbial, insect, and mammalian cells.
