Programmatic Research Goals and Objectives:
Perform independent and collaborative research in analytical and synthetic medicinal chemistry with opportunities for professional and graduate students
Interact with basic science and clinical researchers in understanding mechanisms of chemical injury and damage resulting for oxidative stress and the production of free radicals
Perform drug metabolism and structure-activity studies
Develop computer structure-based modeling data bases
Develop novel therapeutic agents for drug therapy
Develop novel assays for identification of drugs of abuse
