Welcome to the Seokwoo Research Group

Nature is not always organized, especially when it comes to drug development. Molecules with promising therapeutic profiles can be hidden amongst millions of more abundant cellular products. Moreover, even if these molecules are abundant and easily purified, they can be inconveniently complex for a standard medicinal chemistry campaign.

In our lab, we are conducting in-depth research into organic chemistry. Our focus is on synthesizing various derivatives based on natural substances, with the ultimate aim of discovering compounds that can be employed for physiological regulation.

We always welcome students with an interest in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Please feel free to contact us at any time !
