The Taylor Group is a bioorganic chemistry research group in the Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo, Canada. Research in the Taylor group ranges from synthetic and medicinal chemistry to enzymology. We develop new synthetic methodology and then apply this methodology to the synthesis of modified biomolecules such as novel steroids, carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleosides and nucleotides. Many of the compounds we prepare are designed to be biophysical probes and inhibitors of medicinally significant enzymes. We evaluate the compounds for in vitro biological activity and the results of these studies provide information on fundamental processes of biocatalysis and/or are used as lead structures for the development of useful therapeutics.
Positions are available for graduate studies in the Taylor group |
