Biography
My research interests are in the area of bioorganic chemistry. We are currently working on two projects. The first project involves the synthesis of mimics of the cofactor of phenylalanine ammonia lyase and their evaluation as catalysts for the deamination of aromatic amino acids. The second project involves the synthesis of hydroxylated monomeric and dimeric chalcones and their evaluation as cysteine protease inhibitors.
