In the article "UTSA to unlock the power of sulfur in future drug design", Milady Nazir writes about future of medicine changing with the new ideas that UTSA is bringing to the table. She explains how sulfur is found in everyday things and is a helpful tool to protect yourself from cancer, heart disease and other illnesses, but sulfur is hard to introduce into a molecule and bring into the medical world. UTSA's department of chemistry is working hard on improving healthcare and changing the way medicine is today.

          In order to synthesize the sulfur and be able to create new types of medicine, the chemistry department working on this project is going to be borrowing more than $1 million from the National Institutes of Health. They are using the money for researching and testing on how to "streamline synthetic approaches and solve long-standing problems in medicinal chemistry". The research group is being led by Professor Larionov to oversee the project. With this group's work, UTSA is being recognized for one of the leading universities for research in natural sciences, and being named as one of the top 25 young rising universities. The work being done in this group will bring tremendous recognition to UTSA and can possibly change the outcome of medicine forever.
