Personal profile
Biography
Research in my group spans the exciting and challenging interface between chemistry and biology. We are particularly interested in exploring the extraordinary chemical and structural diversity of natural products and using these molecules as new drug leads and as probes to elucidate biochemical and cellular pathways.
