Schuylkill chemistry professor creates novel compounds shown to manage parasites

Lee Silverberg, associate professor of chemistry at Penn State Schuylkill, has recently reported findings of research that examines the chemistry and bioactivity of some organic heterocycles containing sulfur and nitrogen. Through collaboration with biological scientists, these compounds have been shown to effectively inhibit the growth of disease-causing parasites in humans.
