Organic Chemistry

Li Deng
Li Deng
Areas: Chemical Biology, Organic

The Deng Group studies asymmetric catalysis and synthesis, chiral recognition, solid phase synthesis and combinatorial chemistry and chemical approaches towards understanding protein functions.

Bruce Foxman
Bruce Foxman
Areas: Inorganic, Materials Science, Organic, Physical

Research in the Foxman Laboratory includes: x-ray structure determination; coordination polymers; chemical, physical, and crystallographic studies of solid-state reactions; and using computer techniques to develop an automatic solution of crystal structures.

Isaac Krauss
Isaac Krauss
Areas: Chemical Biology, Inorganic, Organic

The Krauss Laboratory studies organic synthesis, including its interface with other areas of chemical science, including organometallics and chemical biology.

Thomas Pochapsky
Thomas Pochapsky
Areas: Biophysical Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Inorganic, Organic, Physical

The Pochapsky Lab is directed towards an understanding of non-covalent interactions in chemical and biochemical systems.

Dagmar Ringe
Dagmar Ringe
Areas: Biophysical Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Inorganic, Organic

The Petsko and Ringe Labs is interested generally in the relationship of protein three-dimensional structure to chemical function. Research is focused on the modification of the catalytic properties of a number of pharmaceutically or industrially important enzymes.

Bing Xu
Bing Xu
Areas: Biophysical Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Inorganic, Materials Science, Organic

The Xu Group focuses on interdisciplinary integration of organic chemistry, materials science, surface chemistry, biochemistry, and nanotechnology to design new biofunctional materials, including nanomaterials, for the exploration in biomedicine (e.g., molecular drug delivery, cancer therapy, biomedical diagnostics, and biomimetics), and other fundamental problems in nanoscience and biological science.
