Organic Synthesis: Dr. Price and his students are involved in the preparation of compounds that are of interest to the pharmaceutical and medicinal communities. Recent work includes the design and synthesis of radiosensitizers as anti-tumor agents (collaboration with Fox Chase Cancer Center), as well as small molecules that allow for in the study of disease predisposition and prevention (a collaboration with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia).
