Research
The majority of the  research in my laboratory is primarily aimed at designing, synthesizing, and testing novel substrates and inhibitors of prostate and breast cancer enzymes such as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and HER2/neu.  As a result of this research, we hope to gain a better understanding of the role of these enzymes in  cancer and develop novel chemotherapeutic and diagnostic strategies.
