Welcome to my website!

My name is Nina Perryman (Howard) and I completed my PhD in synthetic organic chemistry with Prof. Jared Shaw at University of California, Davis. My PhD research focused on the reactions of imines with cyclic enolizable anhydrides toward the synthesis of lactams through what is known as the Castagnoli-Cushman Reaction (CCR). Following my PhD, I worked on the design and synthesis of new streptogramin antibiotics at University of California, San Francisco with Prof. Ian Seiple. I am currently in the process of moving abroad, so stay tuned for more!
