    Curriculum Vitae

    Research & Major Accomplishments

    My research group is broadly interested in areas of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, bioconjugate chemistry, and cell biology. The current work at my laboratory is centered on interdisciplinary research projects aimed at developing safe, effective, and targeted drugs for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. My lab has developed several promising cancer therapeutic and diagnostic agents with successful preclinical profiles that are favorably compared to the existing cancer drugs. We are also interested in synthetic and mechanistic studies of aziridines and aziridinium ions as reactive intermediate compounds in organic synthesis.
