The Lubell laboratory performs research in medicinal chemistry and peptide science, with particular interest in the development of novel effective methods for the synthesis of heterocycles, amino acids, peptides and peptide mimics.

Professor Waldron’s group uses capillary electrophoresis with laser-based detection and mass spectrometry to identify proteins and peptides of biological importance. The group develops enzyme microreactors and methods for micro-scale sample preparation and separation for applications in environmental and biomolecule analyses.
