My research focuses on the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel therapeutic and diagnostic agents across infectious diseases, oncology and neurodegeneration. I have extensive expertise in synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, natural product–inspired drug discovery, and structure–activity relationship (SAR) development. My work spans the synthesis of new antibiotics, antituberculosis agents, kinase inhibitors for triple‑negative breast cancer, antitrypanosomal compounds for Chagas disease, and antiviral candidates targeting CHIKV. I also develop next‑generation diagnostic tools for neurodegenerative diseases through chemical antibody technologies in collaboration with leading UK and international partners.
