This is the only group I could find that does both hardcore natural product synthesis and medical chemistry. We are the only ones who can design and synthesize these two areas. That is very difficult chemistry.

They have a natural chemistry.

By 1954, as an assistant professor with a group of three graduate students, I was able to initiate more complex experimental projects, dealing with the structure, stereochemistry and synthesis of natural products. As a result of the success of this research, I was appointed in 1956, at age twenty-seven, as professor of chemistry.

I'm a passionate, hardcore fisherman. Biggest fish I caught? A 200-pound tarpon.

We don't have a DaVon in this group,

Synthesis is the process of making a natural product, or some other substance, artificially, in the lab, one step at a time, from extremely simple building blocks.
