Cover Story

Searching for Cures

Specimens from the Antarctic’s diverse marine community provide a rich resource for early-stage drug discovery at the USF Center for Drug Discovery and Innovation. The center’s natural products library includes samples from the coastal mangroves of the Florida Keys to the sea floor deep below the Antarctic ice.
