The Aldrich Lab

Welcome to the website of the Aldrich Group. We are located on the 8th floor of Weaver-Densford Hall in UMN’s College of Pharmacy and have recently commandeered more lab space on the 3rd floor of the new Mircrobiology Resereach Facility. Our lab focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of new small molecules for the treatment and study of M. tuberculosis. Our lab does almost everything from making molecules to testing in mouse models.
