Representative research areas include C–H activation, asymmetric C–C bond formation, novel methods to access carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen containing ring systems, and the synthesis of natural products targeting cancer metastasis.
https://cst.temple.edu/about/faculty-staff/christopher-beaudry
The Beaudry group is broadly interested in natural products and creating methods for their synthesis. The natural products we target are from every major natural product class. Moreover, the reactions we develop are diverse in terms of mechanism; we have created new pericyclic, ionic, and radical reactions.

His graduate work was centered around the biomimetic total synthesis of the polyketide natural products SNF4435C and SNF4435D. Chris conducted postdoctoral research in the group of Larry Overman at the University of California, Irvine. In Irvine he worked the synthesis of aplyviolene and macfarlandin E, two rearranged spongian diterpenes.
