Organisation profile
The principle focus of this centre is to develop new synthetic routes and chemistries in order to prepare novel chemicals with applications for research in both industry and academia. As an example, the activities of the centre include medicinal chemistry where the aim is to develop novel compounds for drug development. Topics under active study include:
- Translational catalysis
- Asymmetric synthesis
- Heterocyclic chemistry
- Medicinal chemistry
- Mechanistic organic chemistry
- Carbohydrate and natural product chemistry
- Analytical chemistry
