The Institute collaborates with many public and private institutions.  The most common collaboration involves the submission of compounds or extracts to be tested at UIC for in vitro and in vivo anti-TB activity.  We do however also have collaborations where we contribute to medicinal chemistry and/or ADMET/DMPK.

The most common arrangements include but are not limited to those involving:

•  shared structures, co-authored publications, shared IP or a licensing agreement

•   fee for service work with the supplier retaining all IP  

A secure project web portal can be setup using our Basecamp account for easy transfer of information and data. 

Please download the following to facilitate compound testing: 

• Requirements/instructions for sending compounds (quantity, vials, electronic information etc.)
• Sample submission form
