Minehan’s laboratory, located in Eucalyptus Hall, is developing chemical methods for medical research that does not harm the environment. This is the goal of the experiments performed in this laboratory. Providing a new way: organic and more versatile, to synthesize a molecule that leads to the cure of cancer is the thesis that graduate chemistry student Samuel Rodriguez is currently working on.
