研究领域

Organic Chemistry

Our research centers on the design and synthesis of molecular probes for biological pathways, with the ultimate goal of elucidating disease processes and devising new therapeutic strategies. Our interests span two broad categories of molecules, unnatural analogues of disease-related carbohydrates and natural products with unique biological activity.
