Research
Our research interests stretch across the field of organic chemistry from traditional areas, such as synthetic reaction development and natural product synthesis to bioorganic chemistry, including enzyme inhibitor design, synthesis and testing. In all these fields, our primary laboratory activities involve organic synthesis or constructing molecules. There are currently two active projects in the group: 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 infectious diseases.
