RESEARCH

Research in the Ghanbari group focuses on the development of novel reaction chemistry. We seek to discover molecular structure and reactivity that can contribute to interdisciplinary solutions for challenges in science. The lab focuses on synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry to develop practical access to molecules of interest in catalysis, medicine, and materials. In order to access unprecedented reactivity, we use a two steps approach:

1) Development of novel strategies for the synthesis of organic compound using palladium and gold catalysts.

2) Design and preparation of new nanocatalysts and their application in the synthesis of bioactive compound.
