We are currently investigating new catalytic strategies
for the selective modification of C–H bonds in complex molecules, to enable precision molecular editing
as a drug discovery strategy.
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic are common in pharmaceuticals and are a defining feature of alkaloid natural products. We seek to develop fundamentally new synthetic approaches with broad applicability.

We have received a new R35 (MIRA) award from the NIH! It will support projects on new C–H functionalization and Diels-Alder reactions.
PhD student Anna Davis was selected from among all poster presenters to give a short talk at the Organic Reactions & Processes GRC. Congrats!
PhD student Ian Winchester has been awarded a training grant fellowship from the UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center. Congrats!
We are a synthetic organic chemistry research laboratory at the University of Virginia.
