Paul Hart ’20 is one of 200 Hamilton students conducting research or completing an internship supported by the College this summer. He's working with Associate Professor of Chemistry Max Majireck to synthesize a compound called BRD9876. BRD is essentially a selective motor protein inhibitor, and that means it targets multiple myeloma cells as a form of blood cancer.
