The Institute focuses on several areas of research strength at UWM, with initiatives in neuroscience, cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases. Because of the cross-functional nature of drug discovery and development, the MIDD is focused on collaborations among UWM departments, regional and national academic centers, and medical product companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/re-charge-stem-program\/\" rel=\"\">Re-Charge STEM Program<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-1693\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--color-head uwm-p-card--contact uwm-u-mb-40\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--profile-header\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--profile-header-text\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Milwaukee Institute for Drug Discovery<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--subtitle\">Office of the Director<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n<ul class=\"uwm-c-list--contact uwm-c-list--cleanlist\">\n<li><i class=\"fa-solid fa-envelope fa-fw\"><\/i><a href=\"mailto:arnold2@uwm.edu\">arnold2@uwm.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"fa-solid fa-mobile-screen-button fa-fw\"><\/i><a href=\"tel:414-251-9450\">414-251-9450<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"fa-solid fa-location-dot fa-fw\"><\/i><span>Chemistry Building, Room 371-373<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-my-80\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-l-row--4\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ls-p-small size-h1 heading-separator\" id=\"h-mission-statement\">Mission Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establish an inter-departmental and inter-institutional program in therapeutics to advance research and later-stage development of new drugs from research at the UW-Milwaukee and collaborating institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support collaborations among UWM departments, regional and national academic centers, and medical product companies, and coordinate efforts to maintain a robust interdisciplinary program including seeking joint funding sources and enriching the learning environment of the University and its partner institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve the wider community in Wisconsin by providing training and research opportunities that nurture future scholars and benefit the health of all people in the State of Wisconsin, including supporting new start-up companies that contribute to economic development in the State.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Milwaukee Institute for Drug Discovery\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nnnuCAxEcJo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-my-80\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\" id=\"h-news\">News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"uwm-p-posts uwm-c-list--cleanlist uwm-l-grid uwm-l-grid--3 has-dates\"><li><div class=\"post-content\"><a class=\"post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/midd-members-receive-several-faculty-industry-partnership-seed-grants\/\">MIDD members receive several Faculty-Industry Partnership Seed Grants<\/a><time datetime=\"2026-04-30T11:51:01-05:00\" class=\"post-date\">April 30, 2026<\/time><div class=\"post-excerpt\">The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee introduced a new internal grant program (FIPS) to foster faculty-industry relationships by supporting bold and translational ideas to lay the groundwork for impactful, externally funded &hellip; <\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class=\"post-content\"><a class=\"post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/we-are-hiring\/\">We are hiring!<\/a><time datetime=\"2026-04-15T16:13:18-05:00\" class=\"post-date\">April 15, 2026<\/time><div class=\"post-excerpt\">We are hiring a Research Services Manager of our Mass Spectrometry Facility.
