Research Overview
Our goal is to advance the field of synthetic organic chemistry with two main objectives in mind: (1) The discovery of more efficient methods for the synthesis of complex molecules that could ultimately reduce the cost, environmental impact, and time required for the discovery and manufacture of pharmaceuticals; and (2) The design and synthesis of novel small molecules with the potential to impact the understanding and treatment of human disease. We invent new chemical reactions and new strategies for the synthesis of bioactive small molecules, and seek to integrate this work with disease-relevant biology through our own expertise and outside collaborations.
