Research Overview
My research lab is interested in the rational design of drugs towards new treatments for cancer and inflammation. In addition to the discovery of traditional small-molecules, my research also includes harnessing covalent chemistries to accomplish sustained inhibitions of target proteins, as well as leveraging proteolysis-targeting chimera and molecular glue technologies to achieve the targeted degradation of disease-causing proteins.
