C. elegans as a model system to study drugs
C. elegans is being used to:
- study the effects of a drug/chemical on disease phenotypes
- identify gene targets for a given drug/chemical
- mode of action of a drug/chemical (MOA)
Types of drugs being studied include:
- Antifungal agents
- Antimicrobial agents
