Research area

My focus is to aid in the already formulated project working with high-throughput, solid-phase combinatorial biocatalysis and its applications to lead compound optimization in drug discovery.  I work directly under Dr. Sarah Brooks and we focus on one of the project’s major aims: to expand the breadth of biocatalysis on solid- and polymer-supported compounds in aqueous and nonaqueous media.  Specifically, we will be focusing on the solid-supported compounds by doing work associated with attaching model compounds with specific functional groups onto controlled-pore glass beads.
