Description

Our projects are focused on the development of synthetic methodology based on organometallic
chemistry and asymmetric catalysis, and applied to the synthesis and functionalization of heterocyclic
systems, potentially active compounds, natural products or drugs. We also carry out interdisciplinary
projects that involve computational chemistry and machine learning (ML) tools for reactivity prediction,
and for the design of biologically active molecules
