Our group research interest lies in the area of development of new methodologies for organic transformations, asymmetric organocatalysis, target oriented synthesis (TOS) of biologically important natural compounds, and diversity oriented synthesis (DOS) of natural product-like molecules.  Methodologies developed and molecules thus built are employed in the investigation of biologically significant processes.  Three current research areas are described below.  

I.                     Development of New Synthetic Methods

II.                   Target Oriented Synthesis (TOS) of Natural Products

III.                  Diversity Oriented Combinatorial Synthesis (DOS) of Libraries of Unnatural Small Organic Molecules and Their Chemical genetic Applications
