Synthetic chemistry provides unparalleled freedom for the design of probes to study complex biological systems. Because the electronic and reactive properties of small molecules are easily tuned, custom probes have proven to be of great value not only for solving intricate biological problems, but also for the development of new research approaches for understanding health and treating disease. Although significant progress has been made on many fronts using these tools and other techniques, many challenges remain with respect to improving the selectivity, sensitivity, and activity of probes for diverse applications, ranging from the fundamental biochemistry of posttranslational modifications to signal transduction in neural networks. Research in the Goldberg laboratory focuses on the design and application of new chemical tools to overcome these obstacles.

Students working on these research projects are given broad exposure to many techniques from the fields of biophysical chemistry and chemical biology, including chemical synthesis, peptide synthesis, steady state and time resolved optical spectroscopy, photochemistry, and protein expression and purification.

51风流 undergraduates interested in joining the laboratory are encouraged to discuss possible research opportunities with Professor Goldberg.
