About Me


Dr. Nazarius S. Lamango is a professor of Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biochemistry in the Division of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Institute of Public Health. With a strong background in biochemistry, protein chemistry and intermolecular interactions, he operates at the interphase between biology and chemistry to identify the molecular hallmarks of diseases such as cancers, design small molecular entities to mitigate the disease-causing changes to serve as targeted therapies. Working with undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, graduate students and postdoctoral research associates, he trains and mentors the next generation of biomedical researchers.
