The Medicinal and Organic Chemistry (COM) research team possesses a range of expertise dedicated to projects at the Chemistry-Biology interface. It designs, synthesizes, and studies the structural properties of molecules that modulate innovative therapeutic targets, particularly those involved in pain and cancer. The molecular design process relies on molecular modeling studies of molecular interactions. The team also conducts research in natural product chemistry, focusing on resource selection, bio-guided fractionation, characterization, and biological evaluation of molecules.
Research subjects
The research projects relate to three major themes:
