Overview
Professor Barrett's group is carrying out research on the total synthesis of bioactive natural products including antibiotics and anticancer agents, heterocyclic compounds, organometallic compounds, macrocyclic ethers and lactones and porphyrazines. Additionally, they are seeking to design and develop novel therapeutic agents for the detection and treatment of cancers particularly breast cancer. The team is also investigating the use of catalysis for sustainable organic synthesis, the development of combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis for pharmaceutical discovery and for other applications, and the applications of microfluidic flow reactors in synthesis.
