Research interests
I have developed a number of synthesis methods that are among the most frequently used for fast synthesis of drug molecules, including the MW-assisted Suzuki coupling and the oxidative Heck reaction. My main research interests are: I) design and synthesis of new enzyme inhibitors and peptidomimetics for treatment of HIV, hepatitis C, TB, cognitive disorders, pain and inflammatory conditions, II) development of new and rapid synthesis strategies, including microwave-assisted palladium-catalyzed methods of importance for organic- and medicinal chemistry, III) flow methodologies for rapid scale-up (scale-out) and environmentally benign organic synthesis, and IV) design and synthesis of novel PET and PET/MR radiotracers.
