In the Oguri laboratory, we are developing concise and flexible synthetic approaches to generate functional molecules based on the structure, biosynthesis, and biological roles of natural products as the evolutionary consequences of life. With integration of the biosynthetic logics and modern strategies of organic synthesis, biomimetic modular assembly lines were devised to gain divergent access to skeletally diverse molecules. The densely functionalized natural products and their variants have been utilized as covalent ligands to investigate chemical genetic and medicinal research relevant to infectious diseases and tumors. We are also exploring the interface of natural products and supramolecular chemistry by harnessing the largely untapped potential of natural products bearing specific molecular recognition capabilities. Our research and educational activities are aimed at nurturing the next generation leaders who create new values and explore the frontier of chemical research and industries.
