Molecular Therapeutic Program (MTP) advisors would like to connect with investigators at the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute and its partners who are conducting drug discovery research, and who are looking for expert advice in drug development, available resources, and collaborators with complementary expertise or funding.
The MTP advisors (listed below) are available to meet on the following dates: April 9, May 14 or June 11 from 11 am – 12 pm. The meetings will be held through an IU Zoom call, which will be about 10-15 minutes long.
