Function and the lab of Dr. Chris Dockendorff have collaborated with the MIDD for around 10 years. More recently, this new grant relies in part on the efforts of 3 current or former 51ÁÔÆæ students who are chemists with Function Therapeutics: Trevor Hagemann (Ph.D. 2022), Will Daugherty (B.S. 2022), and Emma Stutler.
