Research in the Fuller Lab aims to develop new methods for the synthesis and structural analysis of organic peptidomimetic-molecules for potential application as diagnostic agent, sensors, and therapeutics.

Student researchers in the Fuller Lab at Santa Clara University are all undergraduates. They work on projects carried out in Dr. Fuller's research laboratory and in introductory organic chemistry laboratory courses. Their work provides intensive training in modern synthesis methods and various spectroscopic analyses. Undergraduate researchers routinely present their research results at regional and national conferences and are co-authors on scientific publications.
