MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY

Medicinal Chemistry principles underpin much of the chemistry research and subsequent biological research performed in the Fairlie Labs at the University of Queensland, St. Lucia in Brisbane, Australia.

Medicinal chemists in our group develop expertise in medicinal and organic chemistry using solution and solid phase organic synthesis; structure determination through 2D NMR spectroscopy; computer-aided drug design; and study interactions between small molecules and proteins, DNA and RNA. Outcomes are new chemical reactions, new chemical mechanisms, novel organic compounds, chemical structures, enzyme inhibitors, protein agonists and antagonists, and structural mimics of protein surfaces, as new leads to drugs and diagnostics.
