Research
Broadly speaking, our group uses organic chemistry to develop chemical tools that can interrogate biochemical environments that are otherwise challenging to probe. Many of our probes become reactive only after a unique biochemical environment has triggered the release of a reactive moiety. We are fascinated with questions of selectivity from the scale of small molecules, to proteins, to entire organs within an animal.
