Research
Our research focuses on combining rational design and synthetic chemistry to probe challenges in biology and medicine. Our projects involve modern (bio)organic syntheses, such as solid-phase synthesis, bioconjugation, combinatorial chemistry, and total chemical protein synthesis. Our research projects include the following:

• Development of new methods for the synthesis of therapeutic peptides and proteins
• Design and synthesis of bioactive macromolecules to inhibit oncogene expression
• Understanding the impact of posttranslational modifications on oncogene expression
• Building artificial nucleic acid binding proteins
• Refining the delivery of bioactive macromolecules
