In general，the chemistry center provides comprehensive chemical services including: bioactive small molecule synthesis, chemical purification and structure analysis, high-throughput screening (HTS) and lead compound optimization. We provide a highly effective and robust platform to conduct professional chemical services and help biological labs to solve challenging biomedical problems. Dr. Xiangbing Qi has been working on the discovery and development of novel small-molecules therapeutics for more than 15 years. The central theme of our research program focuses on the interface of synthetic methodology, natural product total synthesis and chemical biology. We bear persistent enthusiasm for the discovery of novel synthetic strategy for the activation, functionalization, and formation of Sp3C-Sp3C or Sp3C-heteroatom single bond to efficiently build bioactive 3-D small molecules; Biomimetic total synthesis of highly bioactive natural products via dearomatization/molecular arrangement cascade based on abundant natural biomass or feedstock; In close collaboration with various elaborated labs at NIBS, we are devoted to stimulating synergistic cooperation among interdisciplinary fields to identify significant biological targets, interpret their mechanism of action and facilitate biomedical research for clinically valuable small molecule discovery. Based on high-throughput screening, computer-aided drug design and medicinal chemistry, drug development within the lab is highly focused on first-in-class drug candidates to address unmet medical needs, such as the inhibition of HBV infection, circadian clock or sleep regulation and anti-cancer therapies via either small molecule induced protein degradation or molecular glue modulated protein-protein interaction.
