Research Areas

The research of our laboratory focuses on the development of fragment-based lead discovery and optimization methods using synthesis of small molecules and liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). We are especially exploring methods using the protein of interests to assemble high-affinity ligands from a pool of complimentary reacting fragments. Currently, we are applying our lead discovery methods for the discovery of therapeutic agents targeting cancer, malaria and infectious diseases. Additionally, our laboratory is developing chemical tools to specifically label proteins and/or to profile entire proteomes.
