Congratulations to Assistant Professor Lucas Farnung on his recent Quadrangle Fund for Advancing and Seeding Translational Research (Q-FASTR) award for the 2024-2025 academic year.  Lucas’ project is on structure-based discovery of chromatin remodeling inhibitors.

Q-FASTR, the Quadrangle Fund for Advancing and Seeding Translational Research at Harvard Medical School, identifies, supports, and expedites early-stage research with eventual commercialization potential. Q-FASTR provides funding and other support to help HMS Quad faculty identify promising nascent technologies within their labs and develop these technologies to a stage where they are attractive to other funding sources such as public or private agencies, other institutional sources, or potentially industry.
