Susantha K. Ganegamage works in medicinal and organic chemistry, with projects spanning the design of small-molecule fluorescent probes, synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, and structure-activity studies related to neurodegenerative disease targets like tau protein aggregation. The work combines chemical synthesis with applications in disease-related research, such as inhibitors for enzymes linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and analytical tools like fluorescent DNA probes. This research sits at the intersection of chemistry and biomedical science, aiming to develop compounds that could inform future therapeutic or diagnostic development.
