Research Themes

  • Chemical Biology
  • Synthesis/Catalysis

Research Description

Our research takes advantage of chemical tools to study and manipulate biological systems. We are especially interested in antibiotic resistance and green chemistry. For example we look for new molecules to treat infections, we study allostery in P450 enzymes, develop biocatalytic methods using new strategies such as bioconjugation or mechanoenzymology in the absence of bulk water.
