Brief Biography
The group utilizes synthetic organic chemistry to better understand complex biological phenomena. When limitations in existing synthetic methodologies are encountered, new methods are developed to obtain the bio-molecules of interest. An improved understanding of biological processes and diseases at the molecular level enables the discovery of new, efficacious therapeutic treatments. This approach strives to make important contributions to the fields of chemistry and chemical biology.
