PRAIRIE TO PHARMACY

THE PRAIRIE TO PHARMACY VISION

Nature is a sum of connections.

As scientists, we identify these connections.

OUR MISSION

"To find all the chemicals in all the plants"

Prairie plants contain special natural products that help them survive. We have created a unique prairie plant extract library, which we are characterizing by cell-based phenotypic assays. We are finding potential anti-cancer medicines, well-being products, and scientific tools.

"All things in nature are woven together in a unity of marvelous patterns"
