Tak is a graduate student working on total synthesis of a potent anti-angiogenetic natural product, somocystinamide, which was isolated from marine cyanobacteria in the Gerwick lab several years ago. Tak's other research interests include enzymatic chlorination in cyanobacteria, isotopic fractionation of halogens applied to the studies of biosynthesis of chlorinated natural products, biochemistry of cyclopropane fatty acid synthases and its application to anti-mycobacterial drugs, new methodologies to elucidate stereochemistry of natural products, and syntheses of biologically important molecules.
