The American University of Beirut-Nature Conservation Center (AUB-NCC) has established a scientific collaboration with Hikma Pharmaceuticals to pioneer anticancer treament from medicinal plants.

Led by Biochemistry Professor Nadine Darwiche from the Faculty of Medicine, the interdisciplinary team that will study medicinal plants draws on the expertise of AUB-NCC members by incorporating advances in chemistry, nanotechnology, and anticancer studies. In addition to financial support, Hikma will help catapult these new potential treatments from the AUB laboratories to the market, thus making them accessible to the general public.
