Research Interests

My broad research interest is in the area of medicinal chemistry which involves the development and investigation of new or better pharmaceutical agents; A long-term project involves the modification of the monosaccharide fructose as a potential anti-tumor agent. New projects are investigating the development of new bioanalytical techniques involving Capillary Electrophoresis. Presently, my research community is analyzing vitamins from different food sources and benzodiazepines by Capillary Electrophoresis. Educational pedagogy in the teaching of organic chemistry and biochemistry continues to be a research interest in collaboration with other Chemistry faculty at Truman State University.

Students have presented papers and posters at Truman Undergraduate Research Symposium, Missouri Academy of Science, Midwest Regional American Chemical Society meetings, and National Conference of Undergraduate Research.
