Research focuses on the coordination chemistry of metals and its role in organic chemistry and biology. It traverses, synthesis, structure and reactivity of coordination compounds and the manner in which the metals influence the reactivity of coordinated organic molecules. Current research involves template syntheses of amino acids and polyamides and new molecules for the treatment of cancer.
