About the authors

AH

Abdul Hameed

Dr. Abdul Hameed Dr. Abdul Hameed completed his PhD in Organic Chemistry from The University of Nottingham, UK. He worked in the area of natural products synthesis. He was a post-doc fellow in Max-Planck Institut für Polymerforschung, Germany in synthetic division headed by Prof. Dr. Klaus Müllen. There he worked on the functionalization of adenylyl cyclsase inhibitors via chemical methods to conjugate them with monoclonal antibody to study their biological potential in Regulatory T cells (Treg). His current research interests are including the development of novel methodologies, their utilization in natural products synthesis, the synthesis heterocyclic compound compounds to evaluate their biological potential.
