Responsibilities

  • Program Officer, NSS

Research Areas

  • Nucleic Acid Chemistry
  • Prebiotic Chemistry
As chemists, we are intensely interested in the field of nucleic acid, and value in-depth investigation of the subject and its challenges.

We primarily focus on two topics.

G-quadruplex nucleic acid
Prebiotic chemistry


All projects typically require the involvement of synthetic organic chemistry, coordination chemistry, and nucleic acid chemistry.
