The Isaacs Lab at the College of the Holy Cross
We are a research group at a liberal arts college that focuses on copper-mediated organic chemistry reactions. Our methodologies are aimed at gaining access to nitrogen containing heterocycles via 'click chemistry'. Undergraduate education is central to our work. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
