The principal focus of our research is to use the power of organic synthesis to study problems of biological and medicinal interest.
Our research interests include: Synthesis, study, and design of antibiotics that inhibit bacterial cell wall biosynthesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis and bacterial cell morphology; development of HBV capsid-binding probes and assembly-directed antivirals; oxidized phospholipids in disease and diagnostics.
