Research
Our research interests stretch across the field of organic chemistry from traditional areas, such as synthetic methodology development and natural product synthesis to bioorganic chemistry, including enzyme inhibitor design, synthesis and testing. Despite a broad range of research interests, our primary laboratory activities involve organic synthesis. There are currently two active projects: indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor design and synthesis and natural product synthesis with the sequential Birch reduction-allylation and Cope rearrangement. The ultimate goal of both projects is to develop new therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of ailments, most notably cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
