Expertise

Dr. Widlanski's research emphasizes an eclectic approach to solving biochemical and biomedical problems using a broad array of chemical approaches. This approach includes the design and evaluation of enzyme inhibitors, the elucidation of enzyme reaction mechanisms, the development of new synthetic methods to access important biologically active compound analogs and biological probes, and the study of components of signal transduction pathways, including those associated with a variety of disease states ranging from cancer to HIV.
