The Lindsley research group at Vanderbilt University is a unique environment for graduate and postgraduate training. The primary focus of research in our group is synthetic chemistry (total synthesis and synthetic methodology), drug discovery, and medicinal chemistry. The Lab features state-of-the-art technology, typically found only in major pharmaceutical companies, and a diverse group of scientists: staff synthetic and medicinal chemists, experienced Ph.D. Medicinal Chemists from Big Pharma, staff chromatography specialists and a diverse pool of graduate students pursuing Ph.D.s in Chemistry, Pharmacology and Chemical & Physical Biology.
