RESEARCH:
Current Research:
Synthesis of Novel Water-Soluble Cavitands, B.C. Gibb
Divergent synthesis are utilized from Resorcin[4]arene cavitands to develop novel cavitands with
interesting binding and assembly properties in aqueous systems.
Binding of Deep Cavity Cavitands to Specific Protein Targets, B.C. Gibb
Deep cavity cavitands are shown to selectively and preferentially bind to specific viral protein
targets with the potential for protein inhibition.
A Revised Synthesis of Octa-Acid Deep Cavity Cavitand, B.C. Gibb
The synthesis of octa-acid deep cavity cavitand is refined, with a shortened synthesis and revised
preparatory steps.
Previous Research:
Synthesis of Novel Cannabinoid Receptor Ligands for Biological Evaluation, M. Trudell
Novel Cannabinoid Receptor Ligands were developed utilizing a one-pot microwave reaction to
establish a large library of ligands for biological evaluation.
