The lab uses the power of chemistry to synthesize the complex molecules made by nature.
AboutAbout the lab
Making natural molecules with the power of chemistry
The Bioorganic Chemistry lab synthesizes molecules involved in biological functions, such as natural products, using organic chemistry methods and studies their activity.
Its work includes the total synthesis of polycyclic terpenoids with antiviral activity, the design of new functional molecules based on natural products, and the synthesis and evaluation of low-molecular-weight compounds related to food.
Undergraduates are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate school: Division of Food Science and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Agriculture).
Key terms
- Total synthesis
- Artificially building a complex natural molecule from simple starting materials through a series of chemical reactions
- Terpenoid
- A large group of compounds made by plants and other organisms. Many are components of fragrances and medicines
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on the total synthesis of polycyclic terpenoids with antiviral activity, the design of new functional molecules based on bioactive molecules derived from natural products, and the synthesis and evaluation of low-molecular-weight compounds related to food.
