Research Interests

Research interest in our group lies at the interface of organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. We endeavor to develop efficient medicinal chemistry-based methods and technologies for productive drug discovery and drug delivery. Comprehensive synthetic tools and advanced materials will be explored in combination with biochemical and biophysical techniques to address prevailing challenges. Current research projects include design, synthesis and biological evaluation of tumor-targeting drug delivery system, total synthesis of biological interesting natural products.
