Research Description

Broadly speaking, our group uses organic chemistry to develop chemical tools that can interrogate biochemical environments that are otherwise challenging to probe.

We are fascinated with questions of selectivity from the scale of small molecules, to proteins, to entire organs within an animal. Read More.
