Christopher Uyeda's research focuses on developing new catalysts based on metals like cobalt and zinc to build complex molecules more efficiently, including cyclopropanes (three-membered carbon rings) and other specialized chemical structures used in medicines and materials. His group designs reactions that create these structures with precise control over their 3D shape (stereochemistry), work that has included contributions to manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals such as an antiviral drug component.
