Total
synthesis of Natural Products
Our research is focused on solving interesting
challenges in the total synthesis of natural products and in
bridging gaps in synthetic capabilities by the invention of new
reactions. The invention, discovery and design of new methods that
inevitably occurs en route to a natural product fuels our passion.
Through judicious target selection and creative retro-synthetic
analyses, the endeavor of total synthesis becomes an engine for
discovery that drives the field of organic chemistry to new levels
of sophistication and practicality. Synthetic organic chemistry
rigorously demands and cultivates tremendous ingenuity, artistic
taste, experimental acumen, persistence, and character from its
students. Although our lab is focused entirely on fundamental
chemistry, many collaborations are in place with expert biologists
to explore the medicinal potential of newly synthesized natural
products and analogs thereof.
