Current Projects

Design, synthesize, and perform biological evaluation of novel small molecule therapeutics for the diagnosis, treatment of cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, we specialize in new synthetic routes to form more complex molecules.

Cancer Cell Lines for Biological Studies

  • Depicted here are MiaPaca-2 cancer cells which are human epithelial cells derived from primary pancreatic tissue.
  • In this lab we use 6 different cancer cell lines, each having a unique set of characteristics.
