Student Laboratory Assistant
At the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy, I work in the Crich Laboratory as a student laboratory assistant. The Crich lab is an organic and medicinal chemistry group with diverse interests in drug design and development, synthetic methodology, and carbohydrate chemistry and biology. Current projects include the development of novel amino glycoside antibiotics with reduced toxicity for the treatment of ESKAPE pathogens, the exploration of small molecule analogs of the β-(1→3)-glucans… Show more At the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy, I work in the Crich Laboratory as a student laboratory assistant. The Crich lab is an organic and medicinal chemistry group with diverse interests in drug design and development, synthetic methodology, and carbohydrate chemistry and biology. Current projects include the development of novel amino glycoside antibiotics with reduced toxicity for the treatment of ESKAPE pathogens, the exploration of small molecule analogs of the β-(1→3)-glucans for use as immunostimulants, the development of improved chemistry for the stereoselective synthesis of glycosidic bonds of all types, and the exploration of under-represented functional groups in medicinal chemistry with the aim of expanding chemical space and diversity.
