Florida Faculty Interests

Area of Interest: Chemistry

Feng, Yangbo  
focuses on the lead identification and optimization of drug candidates.

Kodadek, Thomas  
focuses his research in the area of chemical biology, deciphering the roles of the proteasome in transcription and understanding the mechanism of action of the hormone orexin.

Liang, Chris  
Design, synthesis, and testing of novel small molecular therapeutics.

Micalizio, Glenn  
focuses research on the development of new chemical methods and strategies for the total synthesis of complex biologically interesting natural products, and for the discovery of small molecules with interesting biological properties.

Paegel, Brian  
studies the controlled synthesis and engineering of phospholipid vesicles and emulsions, microfluidic circuit design, and directed evolution of membrane-associated transporters, pores, and receptors.

Periana, Roy  
focuses on the design, discovery and study of new coordination catalysts for the selective reaction of strong bonds with the goal of developing new Energy and Material chemistries that is cleaner, lower cost and allows the use of alternative feed stocks.

Roush, William  
focuses on the total synthesis of structurally complex and biologically interesting natural products, development of new synthetic methods and strategies, and on problems in medicinal and bioorganic chemistry.

Scampavia, Louis  
works at the high-throughput screening (HTS) robotics facility exploring novel instrumentation and technologies that advance HTS for drug discovery. His work also encompasses the development and transfer of novel biomedical assays for use in HTS campaigns.
