Research efforts are focused on the development of efficient, systematic chemical tools to establish protein function through the design and synthesis of small molecule libraries targeting protein families.  In addition, a major emphasis is placed on the development of practical and general new synthetic methods, in particular, methods for the asymmetric synthesis of amines and the development of synthetic applications of C-H activation.
