This is the Daley Group informational website. Please feel free to peruse the site and use the links on the left to get around quickly. If you would like to know more about the group, please contact Dr. Daley.

The Daley Group makes its home in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department which is housed in the Shiley Science and Technology Center at the University of San Diego. Our group is currently interested in two broad areas of study: Bioinorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. In the bioinorganic area, we examine the structure and function relation of the active-site in monometallic enzymes, such as nitrile hydratase, using the synthetic analogue approach. Our organometallic research currently focuses on the development of new chiral ligands for use in metal-mediated enantioselective catalysis and stereocontrolled poymerization reactions.

If you are a current student at USD and you are looking to join the Daley Group as an undergraduate researcher, please visit our Research link on the left for more information about the type of work we do. If you think you may be interested in joining the Daley Group please contact Dr. Daley to set up an appointment to meet, discuss the research you are interested in, and discuss openings in the group.

Thanks for visiting the Daley Group!
