Our research program is driven by significant problems in organic, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. We have a full range of interests, starting with the development of fundamental ideas on the “coordinate covalent bond,” and how this information can be used to understand the fundamentals of Lewis acidity, organic reaction catalysis, organometallic structures, and the storage and reactions of hydrogen in ammonia boranes. In the field of biochemistry, we investigate the energetics and mechanism of phosphoryl transfer reactions, and design new antimicrobial agents to fight the increasing risk of drug resistant bacterial and fungal infections.
