Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works in medicinal chemistry, focusing on designing and synthesizing new small-molecule drug candidates, especially for cancer, tuberculosis, and infectious diseases like leishmaniasis and SARS-CoV-2. Much of the work targets specific cellular proteins involved in cell division (such as tubulin and topoisomerase) or disease-related enzymes, aiming to develop compounds that could become future therapeutic drugs. The work spans both organic synthesis methods and evaluating the biological activity of the resulting compounds.
