研究领域

Synthetic and Biosynthetic Chemistry Research in the Do laboratory focuses primarily on pushing forward the frontiers in biosynthetic chemistry, particularly in areas relating to medicine and renewable fuels. By taking a bottom-up approach, where unmet technological challenges are deconstructed and evaluated through fundamental chemistry, we hope to discover solutions that will have meaningful real world impact. Projects in the group explore the use of small-molecule metal complexes in living systems, taking advantage of the specific chemical bond-making and bond-breaking events mediated by such species to effect catalytic bioorthogonal reactions. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of our research, work in the group ranges from preparation and characterization of organic/inorganic/organometallic compounds to performing bioassays and cell culture studies to cellular imaging.
