Frantz Lab
A translational chemistry laboratory exploring new synthetic methodology in organic chemistry.
Research Focus
The centralized theme of research in Frantz Lab involves the application and development of new synthetic methodology in organic chemistry that can provide new avenues of chemical reactivity while keeping practicality as a viable and equally important goal.
Methodology
Many of the reactions they develop are mediated by late-transition metal catalysts that are fine-tuned through the use of real-time quantitative techniques, allowing them to rapidly screen new reactions and parameters with unparalleled efficiency in academia.
Programs
Their lab is also involved with several medicinal chemistry programs aimed at developing new small molecule probes towards studying the mechanisms of stem cell differentiation and cancer.
Developed for the Frantz Lab at Washington University in St. Louis.
