Organic Synthesis, Natural Products, Isotopically Labeled Compounds, and Water Disinfection Byproducts
My laboratory is broadly interested in the chemical synthesis of naturally occurring small molecules that exhibit biological activity. Since synthetic planning is greatly facilitated by advances in methodology, my group is also interested in developing new types of chemical reactions to address unusual or challenging structural features in our synthetic targets.
