Our research effort is primarily focused on the total synthesis of natural products, exploring new strategies and concepts in chemical synthesis, and developing new synthetic methodology. This presentation will be an account of our research into how molecular complexity is rapidly and selectively generated in biosynthetic pathways. This will include our recent development of new synthetic strategies towards complex natural products (see completed targets below) and the exploration of new concepts in asymmetric synthesis.

Keywords: total synthesis, biomimetic synthesis, enantioconvergent reactions, dimeric natural products
