Organic synthesis is the study of how we build molecules ranging from fluorescent dyes, chemical probes, to drug candidates. Because synthesis allows us to construct entirely new molecules, it empowers us to probe biological systems in creative and unprecedented ways. Students in the CPSB program will learn how to use their synthetic skills to address challenging biological questions and unmet medical needs. BCM provides state-of-the-art instrumentation for organic synthesis, including an 800 MHz NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometers, and medium and high-pressure auto-purification systems.
