Research in our lab utilizes expertise in organic chemistry
to design and synthesize structured mimetics of biomolecules
(peptides, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates). These molecules
are of interest due to their potential uses in biology
and materials. Current research projects
include:
(1) development of peptidomimetics for the regulation of protein-protein interactions
(2) metal-mediated self-assembling peptides
(3) design of RNA and
DNA binding ligands
