Welcome to the Frantz Lab
The Frantz Lab will be relocating to Washington University in St. Louis, MO as Dr. Frantz is now the new Vice Chancellor for Innovation and Commercialization!!
The Frantz Lab is not accepting students at this time.
The centralized theme of research in the Frantz Lab involves the application and development of new synthetic methodology in organic chemistry that can provide new avenues of chemical reactivity while keeping practicality as a viable and equally important goal.
Many of the reactions we develop are mediated by late-transition metals catalysts that are fine-tuned through the use of real-time quantitative techniques allowing us to rapidly screen new reactions and parameters with unparalleled efficiency in academia. Furthermore, the Frantz Lab is also involved with several medicinal chemistry programs aimed at developing new small molecule probes towards studying the mechanisms of stem cell differentiation and cancer.
Students in the Frantz Lab learn techniques in synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organometallic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical organic chemistry, and drug discovery and development.
