Research Interests:
Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology -- New strategies in
organic synthesis are being developed to solve problems in chemistry
and biology.
Professor Ellman's group is focused on three major areas of
chemistry development: (I) The development of robust, general and
efficient methods for the asymmetric synthesis of amine-containing
compounds. (II) The application of C-H bond activation methods to
the rapid construction of complex, bioactive structures. (III) The
application of chemistry to systematically characterize biological
systems to advance the treatment of disease.
