Jun Kang (Chemistry and Biochemistry) and the Division of Research and Economic Development have partnered with the reagent company Kerafast to market and distribute two novel reagents. The agreement allows Kerafast, a global supplier of biological research tools, to market two reagents that generate phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing compounds without toxic heavy metals. The reagents should make new drug development less costly and more environmentally friendly. These compounds are particularly important in pharmaceuticals. These reagents are the first products to be commercially available due to support from the 2015 Faculty Opportunity Awards.
