Research Interest
My research interests revolve around medicinal chemistry where I have been involved in programs that have targeted primarily third world diseases such as TB, leishmaniasis and HAT. I am currently in the process of setting up a program targeting Alzheimer’s disease. I also have interests and expertise in flow chemistry and process chemistry, which I have used in the development of more economic process routes to existing API’s.
