Research Interests
Our research program at IIT Bombay revolves mainly around organic synthesis.
Currently, our group is engaged in two types
of research projects, which are directed toward the synthesis of pharmacologically active natural products.
They are:
- Design and develop new strategies for the synthesis of complex natural products which are of medicinal and biological interest and
- To develop new efficient methodologies/strategies for the syntheses of natural product like molecules (analogues/hybrid molecules of natural products) that will allow us to learn more about the biological processes with which they interfere.
