We are a synthetic organic chemistry research group at the University of Edinburgh focused on developing and improving the science of synthesis. Our research effort is primarily focused on the total synthesis of natural products, exploring new strategies and concepts in chemical synthesis, and developing new synthetic methodology. We often take our strategic inspiration from the chemistry of biosynthetic pathways and are fascinated by the origin, structure and function of biological molecules.
