What is RAPID? RAPID (Rational Approaches to Pathogen Inhibitor Discovery) is an integrated centre for structural biology and medicinal chemistry. Our purpose is to create a Centre for drug-design aimed at some of the most serious diseases afflicting humanity, and, in particular, tuberculosis. The Center brings together medicinal/combinatorial chemistry, computational chemistry and structural biology groups at Uppsala University in this multi-disciplinarian effort. At this web site, you will find information on the various structures we are working on and copies of our most recent publications. The RAPID Centre is supported by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), and by grants from VR (Swedish Science Research Council) and the EU (NM4TB and earlier X-TB, SPINE).
