Professor William D. Lubell



Prof. W. D. Lubell
Professor at the Université de Montréal, I have been actively investigating solution-phase and solid-phase synthesis of heterocycles, amino acids, peptides, peptide mimics and the preparation of their libraries by combinatorial science. My interests lie both in developing new methodology for effectively synthesizing these novel structures for drug discovery, as well as in their use to explore protein folding, molecular recognition and bioorganic catalysis.
Since 2000, this research has received and we gratefully acknowledge support from the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Medical Research Council of Canada, the Ministry of Education of Québec, Novo Nordisk Denmark, Merck Frosst Inc., ConjuChem Inc., Gemin-X Inc., BioAxone Inc. and Pharma-G Inc.
