Our research group specializes in the design, synthesis, and characterization of various bioactive molecules, with a particular emphasis on their potential applications in drug discovery research. We integrate organic and medicinal chemistry, analytical techniques, and biological evaluation to develop novel therapeutic candidates.

 

Our lab is equipped with advanced analytical instruments to support our cutting-edge research in drug design and molecular characterization:  LCMS, GCMS, HPLC, combiflash, benchtop NMR, etc. 

These instruments allow us to conduct precise and efficient characterization, ensuring high-quality data for all aspects of our research.
