Research
Our research interests stretch across the field of organic chemistry from traditional areas, such as synthetic reaction development and natural product synthesis to bioorganic chemistry, including enzyme inhibitor design, synthesis and testing. In all these fields, our primary laboratory activities involve organic synthesis or constructing molecules. Our current focus is on the efficient and enantioselective synthesis of saturated heteropolycyclic structures with quaternary stereocenters. The ultimate goal of the project is to facilitate the development of new therapeutics.
