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.
