Activation of inert Bonds for Synthesis
Current research is focused on transition-metal-catalyzed activation of otherwise inert
C–H and C–C bonds and the application of these new methodologies to organic synthesis.Click here for a recent example and see the group webpage for more information.
Protein-Protein Interaction
We have recently started a new line of work to develop inhibitors of protein-protein interaction.Click here for a recent example and see the group webpage for more information.
