Overview:

We are a synthetic organic chemistry group that focuses on designing, synthesizing, and studying complex molecules that address real-world problems in medicine and materials science. Projects in the lab range from fundamental synthetic methodology and mechanism studies through to target-directed complex molecule synthesis, medicinal chemistry and chemical biology studies, synthesis of functional polymers, and creation of new polymer crosslinkers — as well as advanced biological and mechanical studies that are used to characterize the molecules that we and others produce. The breadth of our research interests allows us to collaborate with a diverse array of researchers in other fields: from cell biologists and animal researchers through to protein crystallographers, computational chemists, mechanical engineers, and ballistics experts.

Diversity of backgrounds, opinions, and areas of expertise is the foundation upon which the success of our lab is built. We recognize and embrace diversity in many forms, and strive to create an environment in which researchers from all different cultures, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, sexes, sexual orientations, genders, gender identities, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, marital and family status will feel an equal and valued part of our dynamic team. Our goal is to maintain a culture of inclusivity by encouraging, respecting, and engaging diverse perspectives and debate, in order to better our science and our scientific community.
