Research Description

Small molecules are of paramount importance in the recognition, modulation and regulation of biological processes. The research of our group explores the interface between chemical synthesis and biology, by pursuing the efficient synthesis of structurally novel and therapeutically potent small molecules prior to probing their mechanism of action and functional targets. Our specific research interests include the following:

• Development of new catalytic reactions for the efficient construction of chemical bonds, thereby providing practical synthetic methods for “ideal synthesis”.

• Total synthesis of structurally complex and bioactive natural products.

• Exploring the mechanism of action and the functional targets of bioactive small molecules.

• Development of novel molecular probes to study the interactions between biological macromolecules.
