About

Synthetic chemistry has entered a new era of innovation with the rise of commercial platforms for automation and high-throughput experimentation. Such technologies accelerate our ability to optimise reactions and lead to orders of magnitude more reaction data compared to conventional approaches. In this project, we seek to leverage robotics platforms to expedite the development of chemoselective reactions on small molecules and peptides. We will focus on photochemical and electrochemical transformations and aim to deliver high-value combinatorial libraries of bioactive molecules for future applications in drug discovery.
