Advances in genomic sequencing technologies have led to the identification of numerous genes that mediate important cellular processes. However,
the precise molecular mechanisms by which the proteins encoded by these genes carry out complex biological processes with remarkable accuracy, efficiency and fidelity are not completely understood. This knowledge is crucial since disruption of cellular processes often results in pathological conditions. Our research interests focus on the mechanistic understanding of biochemical interactions, and on using that knowledge for the rational
design of synthetic agents to modulate these interactions.
We are particularly interested in the development of novel antibacterial compounds to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Using a combination of organic chemistry and molecular biology techniques, our research will be focused in the following areas:

We are particularly interested in the development of novel antibacterial compounds to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Using a combination of organic chemistry and molecular biology techniques, our research will be focused in the following areas:
- Design, synthesis and evaluation of small organic molecules capable of inhibiting protein-protein interactions
- Biophysical and biochemical assays for studying protein-protein and protein-ligand binding with a strong emphasis on fluorescence
- Exploiting protein biosynthesis machinery using stop codon reassignment for novel applications
