Radhey S. Srivastava is the Boudreaux/BoR Distiguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Dr. Srivastava is an organometallic chemist. His work focuses on metal catalyzed C-N bond formation from the drug design perspective. Other areas of research from his lab have been metal catalyzed biomass energy or value-added chemicals, and ruthenium based anticancer drugs. On a broader level, he is interested in developing new synthetic techniques to synthesize value added chemicals leading to drug formation and valuable chemicals. A major thrust of his research group has been to not only synthesize amines for therapeutic application but also to understand the mechanisms of the reaction.
