Relevant Research Groups


Gareth Arnott
Research Summary:
We are interested in functionalizing the resorcinarene skeleton as a ligand for transition metal based organic transformations, with the aim of developing new selective catalysts that can be used in synthetic organic chemistry.

Relevant Research Groups


Erick Strauss
Research Summary:
The Strauss Lab forms the core of the department’s research efforts in Chemical Biology. We mainly focus on the chemistry and biology of the ubiquitous metabolic cofactor Coenzyme A, and apply the expertise we gain in this arena to the biocatalytic preparation of drug precursors, specifically those relevant to the African health context.
