Organic Chemistry Tools for Understanding Biology
Research in the Raj Group takes place at the interface between the fields of organic synthesis, bioorganic chemistry, and catalysis. We are interested in utilizing organic chemistry tools to solve problems in the field of biology. Our focus is the development of new chemical reactions, catalysis, and ligation methodologies for the synthesis of biological molecules.
Wanted: Chemists who love proteins
The Raj Group is growing! Currently, we have an open position for a postdoctoral scholar. We are also accepting graduate students through the rotation program in the Emory University Department of Chemistry. Interested scholars at all levels, including undergraduate researchers, are encouraged to contact Monika.
Student Voices
The research done in our lab is interesting. Furthermore, Dr. Raj’s availability is also great, meaning you get helpful tips about navigating research problems in a timely manner.
I love to apply knowledge from fields like Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Computational Chemistry to solve scientific problems.
Graduate school is about learning to solve problems. You have to learn to think through problems fully and efficiently. In our lab, you will learn new skills but most importantly you will learn that you can achieve things you didn’t think possible.
Best lab to join!
