Sokol Institute Publications

 
The Margaret and Herman Sokol Institute for Pharmaceutical Life Sciences was established by Montclair State University’s College of Science and Mathematics in 2007. It was created to rapidly advance the critical skills, approaches and research in developing solutions to global health issues. The Institute supports transdisciplinary research bringing CSAM faculty and students and academic and industry collaborators. Projects are in the areas of medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry, natural products chemistry, molecular biology, computational sciences, and environmental toxicology. Research also takes place in emerging technologies such as biomaterials and nanotechnology.
