Prof. Corinna Schindler
Department of Chemistry
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
The Schindler group focuses on innovations in modern synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry that enable the synthesis of biologically active molecules. We are currently interested in the development of new methodologies utilizing earth abundant metals, the synthesis of natural products and the investigation into the biological activity of natural products and their analogs.
Prof. Osvaldo Gutierrez
Department of Chemistry
Texas A&M University
The Gutierrez group combines computational and experimental approaches to advance our understanding of organic/organometallic reaction mechanisms. In turn, this information is used to guide the design of new sustainable, catalytic, and asymmetric transformations that can be adapted by the organic, organometallic, and bio(in)organic in the synthesis of medicinally-active compounds.
