Bio
I have been with the Natural Sciences Department, at NSU, since 2005. I am currently
an Associate Professor of Chemistry. I have Master's and a Ph.D. degrees in organic
chemistry from the University of Illinois at Chicago and two research post-doctoral
appointments in organic chemistry, with the University of Iowa and the University
of Illinois at Chicago. My research is mainly focused on the synthesis of vitamin
D analogs with anticancer activity.
