The research interests of our group include the total synthesis of biologically active natural products, the development of new synthetic methods, heterocyclic chemistry, bioorganic and medicinal chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, the study of DNA-agent interactions, and the chemistry of antitumor antibiotics. We place a special emphasis on investigations to define the structure-function relationships of natural or designed agents in efforts to understand the origin of their biological properties.
Central to such studies are the development of dependable synthetic strategies and the advent of new synthetic methodology to permit the preparation of the natural products, key partial structures, and analogs incorporating deep-seated structural changes. The resulting efforts have reduced many difficult or intractable synthetic challenges to manageable problems providing an approach not only to the natural product but one capable of simple extrapolation to a series of structural analogs as well. In our own efforts this has provided the opportunity to fully explore the origin of the natural products properties and to devise agents with improved selectivity and efficacy.
Dale Boger received a B.Sc. degree in chemistry from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, and a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Harvard University in 1980. He served on the faculties of the University of Kansas and Purdue University. In 1991, he joined Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, Calif., where he is presently Richard & Alice Cramer Professor of Chemistry. Previous awards and recognitions include a Searle Scholar Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowsip, an ACS Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award, and the 1997 Katritzsky Award in Heterocyclic Chemistry of the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry. He is the 1999 recipient of the ACS Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, sponsored by Aldrich Chemical Co.
