RESEARCH AREAS OF THE KIRSCHNING GROUP
The ability to design and synthesize new molecules, and to explore their molecular architectures, is a tool of enormous power that has facilitated the development of many areas within the field of molecular science. Research in the Kirschning group aims to strategically combine a diverse range of these synthetic approaches, including biotechnological methods based on enzymes and whole cells; enabling technologies such as flow chemistry and inductive heating in organic synthesis; and the total synthesis of complex organic molecules, to initiate biomedical studies of new molecules and materials with promising therapeutic potential.
