Dr. Amir H Hoveyda's research lab at Boston College focuses on developing innovative catalysts and methods for creating complex molecules that can lead to new drugs. The lab uses advanced chemical techniques, particularly those involving olefin metathesis, to alter the shape of natural compounds, making them more effective for medical use. This research aims to efficiently transform readily available materials into valuable pharmaceuticals while minimizing environmental impact.

Dr. Abhishek Chatterjee's lab at Boston College focuses on developing innovative tools to study post-translational modifications in proteins. By using advanced genetic technologies, the lab aims to understand how these modifications affect protein function in human health and diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders. The research involves creating methods to introduce and study new protein modifications accurately in living cells.
