Research & Teaching Interests
Research is focused on rapidly constructing biologically relevant scaffolds as potential pharmaceutical leads. Two complementary research areas comprise most of the research effort: the use of metalated nitriles as potent nucleophiles for hindered bond construction, and the use of metalated isocyanides as precursors to peptide mimics. The research has been primarily funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

We are interested in the discovery and optimization of biocatalytic transformations for use inorganic synthesis. We utilize a library of marine derived bacteria that are prolific natural productproducers. By using substrates that are labeled with NMR active isotopes (13C, 19F), we cantrack transformations and identify synthetically useful transformations.
