Studies in the potential for anti-aging and antiretroviral activity are being conducted with members of the Biochemistry division. Ozone Disinfection Byproducts and Drinking Water Research is currently underway to investigate the chemistry of zone disinfection byproducts produced by ozonization of drinking water. New analytical methods for the characterization of such byproducts and the use of advanced oxidation process in the disinfection of drinking water is under investigation. There is an active interest in the deign and synthesis of novel crosslinking agents for the development of new acrylic polymers with unique absorbent properties. The Design and Synthesis of New CNS Agent s Research is continuing in the design and synthesis of new central nervous system drugs particularly CNS stimulants and dissociative drugs.
Research projects involve the design, synthesis and testing of new target compounds.
