Robert N. Young is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Simon Fraser University and holds the B.C. Discovery Chair in Pharmaceutical Genomics. His research focuses on Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry, particularly in drug discovery and molecular probes that validate biological drug targets. He aims to characterize gene family expressions during various disease states and discover valid biological targets to develop proof-of-concept (POC) molecules for therapeutic intervention. Young's work includes the design and synthesis of novel bone growth stimulants for osteoporosis treatment, enzyme inhibitor probes for inflammation and atherosclerosis, and mapping of enzymes' in vivo expression to find new cancer and diabetes targets. He is affiliated with several academic organizations and contributes significantly to the field through his explorations in drug design and optimization.
