Scholars@FIU Profile
Overview
Over the past 30 years, Dr. Houghten has focused his research toward the development and use of a series of interlocking and powerful hit/lead/probe discovery platform techniques (parallel synthesis techniques and combinatorial chemistry). He has conceived, patented, and developed novel and far/wide ranging approaches for use in existing drug discovery problems. In collaboration with long term scientific associates, he has developed technologies with the capability to very rapidly synthesize and screen tens of millions of compounds without the need for changes in the screening assay or the use of robotic high throughput research products. Dr. Houghten has over 465 peer-reviewed publications ,151 book chapters and proceedings, and 90 issued US patents.
