Research interestsMy research interests include flow chemistry and drug discovery. My flow chemistry team focuses on the development of flow syntheses of pharmaceuticals, reaction engineering and the development of new chemical reactors. My medicinal chemistry team focuses on lead discovery and computational modelling aimed at the identification and development of anti-Alzheimer’s agents.
