Welcome to the Malapit Group
synthesis and catalysis for drug discovery and sustainable energy
About
The Malapit lab is Northwestern's newest synthetic chemistry research group.
We utilize a multidisciplinary approach using the concepts of organic synthesis, catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and electrochemistry towards the discovery of new reactions and sustainable catalytic transformations,
and the synthesis of novel molecules relevant to drug discovery and energy storage technology.
