CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory Faculty

Welcome to Kishor Handore Research Group

(Total Synthesis, Synthetic Methodologies, Medicinal Chemistry, Crop-Protection)

We are a chemistry group based at the Organic Chemistry Division, CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), in Pune, INDIA. We are dedicated to advancing organic chemistry through the development of innovative strategies and tactics for the synthesis of natural products and biologically important molecules. Our research is inspired by the beautifully complex structures of unusual natural products, which guide us towards creative solutions. If you are interested in joining our group, please find details here.
