My research interests include:   (a)     asymmetric synthetic             methodology and its application to            the synthesis of natural products;   (b)     isolation, characterization and             synthesis of natural             products found in medicinal             plants used by First             Nations of Northern British             Columbia; and   (c)     medicinal chemistry focusing on            anti-cancer active compounds.
