The research plan in the Cremeens' lab aims to amplify an existing collaboration between Gonzaga University, University College London, University of Bristol, and Whitworth University. We make pharmaceutically relevant molecular cores, grow crystals, acquire structural data, and share data with theoreticians in London. Overall, we aim to build a database of information that will lead to a deeper understanding of how crystals form; the project focuses on basic science relevant to the pharmaceutical industry.
