About the Lab

Content

The Young lab research focuses on the development of chemical pathways leading to molecule that can be used to probe fundamental and disease-associated biology. His lab is pioneering new chemical and biophysical methodologies related to fragment-based drug discovery to be deployed against challenging targets in cancer. The Young Lab in interested in the following research areas:

  • Synthetic organic chemistry
  • Fragment-based drug discovery
  • Diversity-oriented synthesis
  • Medicinal chemistry
  • Chemical biology
