I am currently interested in the synthesis, reactions, and
medicinal applications of alpha lactams. Alpha Lactams, also known
as aziridinones, are three-membered rings containing the amide
functional group. Due to their highly strained ring, alpha lactams
can lead to interesting chemical reactions and can potentially
possess desirable medicinal effects, such as anticancer or
antibiotic properties. If you are interested in the synthesis and
characterization of organic compounds, their stereochemistry, or
their medicinal properties, then a research project in my lab might
interest you.
