Male Contraceptive Initiative supports science that moves male contraceptives forward. We support a broad program of research including discovery-stage and pre-clinical studies across the drug and device realms. We also support young researchers, development of tools that promote the field, and social science that illustrates the demand and need for male contraceptives.
MCI-BCM Sponsored Target Screening
This opportunity will facilitate the screening of validated male contraceptive targets for small-molecule inhibitors using the DNA-Encoded Chemistry Technology (DEC-Tec) core facilities available in the lab of Dr. Martin Matzuk and Center for Drug Discovery at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). The purpose of this opportunity is to allow investigators with validated male contraceptive targets to utilize state-of-the-art screening facilities to identify “hit” molecules that bind to the target of interest.
