Research Themes

• Synthesis / Catalysis - Green Chemistry
• Chemical Biology - Materials Chemistry
• Materials Chemistry

Research Description

Research in our group focuses on synthetic chemistry and catalysis. Our work draws upon and impacts a number of areas, including:

• methodology development
• natural products total synthesis
• organometallic chemistry
• chemical biology
• materials science

Unlike any other scientific discipline, students trained in the art of synthetic chemistry have the ability to conceive of and produce molecules with atomic-level precision. Our interests in synthetic chemistry encompass a range of projects that include: (1) the development and mechanistic understanding of new catalytic transformations, (2) the development of new synthetic strategies to produce biologically active small molecules, (3) the study of natural products and natural materials, with the goal of correlating structure and function, (4) the synthesis of metal-organic materials using new methods for the separation of mineral ores and post-consumer electronics. An overarching goal of our research is to improve the sustainability of synthetic chemistry. In all of our projects, we consider the source of our feedstocks, and minimize the waste associated with chemical transformations. As such, we recognize the central role synthetic chemistry plays in addressing major challenges facing our planet, including mitigation of global warming and minimizing the environmental impact of chemical synthesis. We also recognize the fundamental role that small molecules play in human health, and aim to improve our understanding of how small molecules function in biological contexts, with the ultimate goal of producing new therapeutics with improved performance. Our group conducts research at the interfaces of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry in a collaborative and multidisciplinary setting. Students leaving the group will have developed the necessary skills to design and execute a sequence of transformations to produce targets with desirable function.
