Research Area

Target-oriented organic synthesis: Developing a new methodology for synthesizing bioactive organic compounds. This part of the research is directly related to the discovery of drugs. CADD plays an important role in this part of our research. The bioactivity of the compound is evaluated in our collaborative groups at Aliah University and Presidency University.  

Green Chemistry: Another important part of our research deals with the development of green methodologies for the synthesis of Bioactive Organic Compounds, Natural Products, and drug molecules. 

Development of new organic ferroelectric materials: We are working on the development of new ferroelectric materials in collaboration with the Department of Physics, Aliah University.
