A major research program in Dr. Du Bois’ laboratory is developing novel syntheses of molecules that block the action of voltage-gated sodium ion channels — in particular, structural analogues of the natural product, saxitoxin. Characterization of these analogues furthers our understanding of the neurophysiology of sodium channels and, ultimately, will serve as templates for new agents for diagnosing and treating patients suffering from pain and other sodium channel-mediated diseases.

Dr. Du Bois has consulted for several large pharmaceutical companies on the medicinal chemistry related to the development of novel drugs.
