Research Interests

Combinatorial and Bioorganic Chemistry

Combinatorial chemistry is a powerful technology allowing simultaneous preparation of diverse, novel and biologically active molecules for drug discovery and development. By utilising combinatorial approaches, we are interested in synthesizing and screening libraries of compounds which exhibit diverse biological activities. We are particularly interested in exploiting the technology to (i) search for compounds with antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial properties; and (ii) develop inhibitors to human multi-resistance proteins.

Additionally we are also interested in (i) investigating the use of new linkers which are both cost-effective and chemically useful for solid-phase combinatorial synthesis. We are presently examining the use of sodium benzenesulfinate resin as a solid-support for combinatorial synthesis; and (ii) developing soluble polymers for liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis.
