Research summary
AI-generated

Iredia D. Iyamu works in medicinal chemistry, designing and synthesizing small molecules to study and modulate biological targets such as receptors and protein-protein interactions. Their work spans discovering new antimalarial compounds, developing selective ligands for sigma receptors and other targets, and creating chemical tools to probe protein interactions relevant to neuroscience and cancer research. This research combines organic chemistry (making new compounds) with pharmacology (testing how these compounds affect biological systems).
