Research Interests:
- Broad field of organic synthesis
- Medicinal chemistry
- Investigation of cell surface ion exchangers as expedient molecular targets for a new brain cancer therapy
- Synthesis of cell surface ion exchange inhibitors and their prodrug forms
- Polymer chemistry
- Study of the alkoxyamine (RONH2) functional group in new materials as versatile ligating sites for carbonyl (e.g. aldehyde/ketone) substrates
