A general theme of our research is medicinal chemistry, specifically the
application of synthetic chemistry and molecular modeling to discover novel
molecules with application as drugs or tools for research.

Excellence (PACE) on the PA Hospital site of The University of Queensland (UQ)
in Brisbane, Australia. PACE is a state-of-the-art facility just a short trip
from the UQ St Lucia campus via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge.
