Contributed to the development of a diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) platform at Harvard. Synthesized 2,500 natural product-like small molecules and collaborated to screen the compounds in a variety of biochemical and cell-based (phenotypic) assays. From the library, we discovered secramine, an inhibitor of Golgi to plasma membrane trafficking (Pelish et. al., JACS 2001, 123(27):6740-1), which I later determined to inhibit the Ras superfamily GTPases CDC42 and Rac1.
